Once the theme decision is made, it's time to send out invites. Make sure the invites are sent at least two weeks prior so that people can make time from their busy schedules. Make sure everyone you invite is approved by the bride, but she need not who is coming (a surprise visit from your favorite aunt who couldn't come will definitely make her happy.

• Food
  

Your bridal shower food should be the continuation of your bridal shower theme. Keep one show stealer dish which can be the bride’s favorite. Always keep some extra food as lots of games and activities in the bridal shower will make all the women hungry.

• Drinks
  

As much as everyone enjoys fruity cocktails, don't forget to keep non-alcoholic refreshments for those who may not want to imbibe and for when you need to rehydrate and refresh.

It can also be theming specific ones. If you need some help, Chicnutrix has some great beauty combos that your guests would love.

• Games
  

Plan some fun games that everyone can enjoy. While there are some games that lean more on the side of awkward and uncomfortable trivia, Pictionary, bridal bingo and guess the dress are some of the most popular games in the bridal shower.

• A Playlist
  

It's inevitable to have some lull in conversation in between the unwrapping of gifts, especially hosting guests of different age groups. Therefore, music can never go wrong. Ask the bride to create her favorite playlist or play top blockbusters from every year from the year she was born. This is also a way to involve the groom in a subtle sweet way by asking him to create an original playlist.

• Gifts
  

Of course, as a bride you will expect some gifts. Make sure you give some idea to people who are attending the shower what gifts you would love to have.

• Photography
  

Hire a photographer or set up a DIY photo booth to capture all the memorable moments. Guests can take home photo souvenirs, and the bride will have beautiful memories to look back on.

• Venue
  

The venue is also very important for a bridal shower. Depending on the number of people you can have the shower can either be at home or a party hall. The venue should be convenient for all. The venue should have a great aesthetic and ambience.
Remember to tailor these ideas to suit the bride's personality and preferences. The most important thing is to make the event a reflection of her and to create lasting memories with her closest friends and family.
