Bridal Shower Locales
Every bride wants to have the perfect wedding, the perfect husband, the perfect bridal shower. In order to make this dream a reality, many planners worry about where to have the shower. Some locations allow for natural backdrops or interesting bridal shower games (think outdoor bridal bingo). But without a clear-cut theme, many shower planners might be lost.
At Home
Usually the Maid of Honor or the mother of the bride organize and host the bridal shower. In many cases, this is a wonderful opportunity for the groom’s side of the family to meet the bride’s family and socialize at the future mother-in-laws home. Don’t overlook the importance of having a bridal shower at a private home. Many bride’s today want to have a large production, but the shower’s meaning gets lost. Having a private home as the shower location is a great way to keep the party intimate and personal. Handmade invitations and potlucks are an excellent way to keep that homely feel.
Creative Alternatives
Many brides choose to have the bridal shower at a larger venue because of the number of guests or because the larger location allows for more engaging activities (think wine tasting or bridal shower games). The following is a list of some more creative bridal shower locations:
- Bowling Alley
- Local Park
- Cocktail Lounge
- Country Club
- Boat
- Restaurant
Many brides will enjoy the ambiance of catered food on the deck of a decadent boat or the quiet sophistication of a country club soiree. Bowling alleys are a great way to transition to the bachelorette party later that night. And when talking of the importance of family, what better way to celebrate the upcoming nuptials than to have the shower at your local park with friends and family? Or why not take the group down for cocktails and rent a space for dancing? Whatever you decide to do, make sure it’s a memorable event the bride will appreciate for years to come.
