Bridal Shower Organization
If you have started the wedding preparations or if you are on the eve of a relative's wedding, one of the events you are familiar with is the 'Bridal Shower'. It doesn't have an exact Turkish equivalent, so we can understand that this event came to us from abroad, especially from America.
The purpose of the bridal shower is to relieve the stress of the bride before the wedding with her close girlfriends. Although it is usually a surprise event organized by the bride's close circle, we often encounter it organized by the bride-to-be.
So, what are the points to consider when organizing a bridal shower?
1-Guest List
Contrary to other events, it is an organization consisting of the bride's closest guests, where there are usually fewer guests among the wedding preparations. Since the purpose of this event is to relieve the stress of the bride, it is useful not to overdo the guest list and to create a friendly atmosphere.
2-A Theme Reflecting Personal Tastes
Whether you make a well-thought-out, over-detailed organization or you are in favor of pure simplicity, the bride's personal tastes should definitely be reflected in the theme. You can organize a flamboyant decoration with a tropical theme, or you can prepare a simple table where only the bride's favorite flower is sprinkled in between.
3- Treats that appeal to the eyes and stomach
One of the leading actors of an organization is all kinds of treats! Since it is an organization that takes place mostly during the day, snack desserts will be very useful for you. Since it will not be a very crowded organization, you can choose to offer creative treats.
4-Fun Games for a Friendly Environment
One of the essentials of a Bridal shower is games. You should include fun games to have a fun time and create a friendly atmosphere at the same time. You can adapt the well-known board games to this event or ask “How well do you know the bride?” You can organize competitions such as
5-Fun Gifts for the Bride
One of the customs of bridal showers is for guests to give small gifts to the bride. The gifts given should be small, funny and make the bride laugh. Gifts such as frames, body care sets, nightgowns and mugs are often preferred.
6-Groom Joining the Group
Bridal shower's feature is that it is a girl-to-girl organization, so we can say that there is not much room for the groom in this organization. :) But towards the end of the event, it can be fun for the groom to come and participate in the games played.
7. Don't Pick a Date Close to the Wedding
If the bridal shower happens very close to the wedding, the schedules of both the bride, groom and their relatives can be quite busy. You can have a more enjoyable and comfortable time in an organization held without increasing the stress level.
