A Step by Step Guide: How to Throw a Bridal shower surprise
Modern technology might have made it more difficult to throw surprises because almost everyone is aware of what is going on around the world. However, that does not mean you cannot throw a good surprise if you wanted to. There are at least a few things you can do when you are planning to surprise someone during a Bridal shower surprise arrangement. The following are some ideas.
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.
Your guest list should include the friends and family members of the bride. This is what will give you the right indication of how many people will be turning up to your party.
Selecting the Date
Once you have your guest lists ready, you can go ahead and plan the date. Selecting a date is never an easy affair. The biggest problem is that you are keeping this a secret from the bride, but at the same time you have to make sure that she will be able to come to the venue (whichever you choose) on that date, without having an inkling that you are planning something for her.
It is a good idea to commiserate with the groom-to-be on this one. Tell him to bring her to the venue on the said date in some manner and, first of all, make sure that the bride does not have any other appointment for that date.
Keep the Bride Occupied
If the bride has no work to do, she can become suspicious sooner, especially when her close people are busy with something else, i.e. planning a shower for her that she does not know about. A good thing to do if you want to surprise her is to keep her busy. This allows you to plan and implement things better. But remember, she should not understand that you are trying to keep her out of the way.
Ensure that No One talks!
Since many people are going to be involved in this, it will be difficult to keep things under wraps for long. But whenever you speak to anyone, ask them to take a vow of secrecy. Though this is not a foolproof method of keeping things away from the bride, it provides at least some degree of assurance. Most importantly, don’t tell anything to anyone who needn’t know about the bridal shower that you are planning.
