Planning a bridal shower is fun, but nothing compared to the shower itself!

Planning a bridal shower is, by far, one of the most fun tasks any maid of honor gets to undertake. Along with planning a bridal shower, you get to choose shower decorations, think of cute ideas for the bridal shower favors, and everything else involved in the process. Sure, planning a wedding shower can be frustrating at times, but all of that fun coordination and the look on your friend’s face when it all goes perfectly? It’s worth it.

Planning bridal showers don't need to be a huge affair. If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed while planning, use a theme as your starting point. If you’re planning and you know it’s all going to focus around a spa theme, your favors are simple: little goodie bags of spa stuff, from nail files to facial masks and more. The bridal shower decorations can be something related, like just some simple white and blue lighting with soft shades and a funky element here and there. Even food is simpler when you’re planning around a theme! Sushi is perfect when you are planning a wedding shower with a spa theme.

If you still have trouble planning a bridal shower, get your fellow bridesmaids involved. There is nothing that says you have to go about planning on your own! That includes the financial aspects of planning a bridal shower, so never feel like you are obligated to foot the bill. If it starts to get a little pricey while planning, turn it into a pot luck so at least your food is taken care of. Just think of how your friend’s eyes will light up when she realizes how much effort you put into planning a shower just for her!
