Checklist - Starting To Plan
When you're first starting to plan a bridal shower, it's very helpful to have a checklist to help organize thoughts and outline the various elements that comprise the event.
Hosting The Event
Determine who will plan and host the bridal shower. Traditionally, the maid of honor is the host of the party, and she plans the bridal shower together with the bride. If the shower is a surprise, then the maid of honor should work with the bride's close friends and family to plan the wedding. This is sometimes the case as well, when the maid of honor or bride are traveling in to attend the wedding.
