The A.B.C’s of How to Throw a surprise bridle Shower
Sometimes it seems as though surprise parties are impossible these days with Blackberries, email and text messaging all posing as a spoiler. The perfect surprise party is possible though. If you wish to throw a surprise Bridal shower there are a few things to keep in mind and which will help to make it the best surprise shower possible.
The First Step
The first thing you are going to need to do is make up the guest list. You really cannot go any further before you do this because you are going to need to find out who is willing to come, what days are good for everyone, how far they are going to be able to travel and so on.
Make up a guest list of the bride-to-be’s best friends and closest family members, the number of people that you invite is really up to you and how many people you think they would like to have come.
Choose the Date
The phase in planning the surprise shower is to actually set the date. This can be somewhat tricky, because more than anything you are going to have to make sure that the bride herself is able to make it on that date, but without letting her know what you are up to.
Speaking to the fianc to see if you can gain his assistance in the setting of the day, and if possible try to get a hold of her day planer/date book, without being overly nosy, you can check to see what dates she has free.
Keeping The Bride In The Dark
While you are busy planning and preparing for the party you are going to need to make sure that the soon to be bride is kept out of the way and busy.
Without making it too obvious that you are trying to get her out of the way, you should by now have her busily occupied with other tasks (preferably elsewhere) while you and the other girls are busy working away to make sure that her bridal shower is just right.
Keeping Everyone Quite
Bridal showers can be an exciting affair, especially a surprise Bridal shower, but making sure that everyone keeps quiet is a must.
The more people each person tells about the surprise party the greater the risk of a leak becomes and the chances that the guest of honour finding out about the surprise increase, so making sure that all of the guests are tight lipped and keep it on a need to know basis.
