Bridal showers are all you can think of as your best friend calls you and gives you the good news that she is getting married. She has asked you to be her Maid/Matron of Honor, you’ve said “yes".

In all the excitement you say that you would love to give her a wedding shower.
Later you panic, you don’t know how to organize a one, and besides aren’t the they rather old fashioned for the modern brides of today.

Today’s brides are so different from the brides of say fifteen years ago. She may have been supporting herself for some time, live away from the family home, is older, and better educated; she could also have been married before. If she has been living on her own she would have many household items.

A shower that you give your best friend is an expression of your support and encouragement to her. It is also a nice way for family and friends to get together and offer gifts and bits of advice.

You may not like the traditional wedding shower with the games, showy decorations and unhealthy food. You would like to give the bride to be a celebration that she will always remember, and one that was fun for everyone. Let me help you plan the best wedding shower ever.

Remember planning a shower is fun! So plan the foods and activities that you would enjoy, you may also like to have a combined party with the groom and male guests.

As you read through the following sections you will find ideas and money saving tips for food, gifts, decorating, and alternative entertaining.

Any person who is close to bride and groom, gives the shower (the brides mother doesn’t usually give a shower, but there is no hard and fast rule to this). It could be an aunt, cousin, close friend, or a member of the bridal party usually the Maid/Matron of Honor.

The more prepared and organized you are, the less likely it is that you will have surprises. But if on the day of the shower things do go wrong, work your way around it, don’t let it upset you, just try to relax and have a good time.

So take some time to read the articles listed below to help you get started.
