Surprise Bridal Showers

February 21st, 2009

Bridal showers are always a lot of fun. The close friends and relatives of the bride all get together to celebrate her upcoming nuptials and give her presents – what could be better? For a really terrific bridal shower, consider throwing a surprise shower.

Since the element of surprise is what makes a surprise bridal shower so much fun, the key is to make sure that no one blows the secret. The invitations should make it very clear that the party is a surprise, and have very explicit instructions about things like when to arrive and where to park so that the bride doesn’t see all of her family’s cars and guess what is happening.

As for the party itself, it will be the most enjoyable if you try to make it fit the style of the bride. If she is a funloving sort, why not try a great theme like a Hawaiian luau? This makes an especially good idea for a co-ed party. A very girly-girl will love a pink themed party, whereas a bride who loves vintage would be delighted by a Victorian tea party.

There are lots of great gifts that you can give the bride. The hostess might consider gifts that are of a more personal nature, like wedding jewelry. If you know that the bride has been eyeing a particular set of wedding jewelry, it surely be one of her favorite gifts of the day. Other great ideas include monogrammed items for the home, or a beautiful picture frame to hold a wedding picture.

Lastly, don’t forget some nifty favors for the guests. After all, they helped to keep the secret and make the surprise party a success. A surprise bridal shower will be one party that the guest of honor will never forget!
