Opening gifts usually comes after food and games.

One fun game is the gift bingo. It’s a blank board where guests write in what they think the bride will be gifted. Then when that gift is opened they mark it off. First to bingo will get a prize. It helps get guests chatting about what they brought and gets them excited to stay for the whole event.

Your bridal party can help break the ice at your bridal shower. They can be your buffer and conversation starters.

Introduce the key players at the start of the shower or have them introduce themselves. That way everyone knows their names. It’s also fun to have the moms, aunts, and grandmothers wear buttons or pins that say who they are.

Have a bridesmaid walk around with you offering drink refills or asking how’s the food to break the ice.

Bridal showers can be a really fun way to get both families together. Some hosts may wish to hold separate showers but we really believe in bringing together both sides of the family.

It gives everyone the chance to meet one another from both sides and play some fun games.

Next up we’ll cover some games to play and discussion points for the host and bride to chat with everyone and break the ice.

Planning a bridal shower can be so much fun! You’ll want to have the theme be cohesive. Setting up colors and working from there is helpful. Set the mood after that - formal, casual, somewhere in between.

Some venues allow you to bring in everything on your own or you can rent and get everything through them. It depends on your budget and the mood you’re going for.

Invites should include the brides name (can include the fiancé as well), location, date/time, registry details, and rsvp details. You can use the couples wedding website and set up an event for the shower with private RSVP. Usually the host collects the rsvp via text or email. You could even save some money and do all rsvp via Facebook events.

First off, congratulations! Traditionally the bride isn’t a part of the bridal shower planning. If you go this route you can always let those hosting know your boundaries. So this could include the number of people or gift types or even colors.
Then whomever is hosting can handle the rest.

But if you are hosting yourself or assisting in planning we will help with some tips over the next few weeks.

Question revived today: how do I collect addresses?

If you have time- the fall prior to sending out invites ask for address you don’t already have with the idea of holiday cards. You can text your friends or give them a call. You could also do this in the spring as well say around Easter (if you celebrate).

If you don’t have time- split the list between families and get your in laws and parents or siblings involved to help with family. Your fiancé and you can go down your friends list. Most people aren’t going to be worried giving you the address.

You can also use Zola and other sites for addresses. Just don’t be freaked out when the email some services send out end up in your guests junk box.

Rule of thumb when it comes to registry gifts is roughly 2 per guest invited. While that can seem daunting it’s possible even if the couple has lived together. It may take time to build it but pick a few sites and take your time going through. Personally we enjoy Target and Amazon for our couples because they can physically go look at things at Target and may even find on Amazon for less.

Zola and Pottery Barn are also popular registry locations.

Common registry items you need multiple of:
Dish towels
Hand towels
Bath towels
Pots and pans
Kitchen utensils
Pillows
Throw blankets
Bed linens and pillow cases
Food storage containers
Coat hangers

Not so common but fun:
Record players
Records
Bluetooth speaker
Book ends
Bookshelf
Books
Under bed storage containers
Closet organizer
Spice rack & spices

Always great to add for variety:
Gift cards of various amounts
Cash fund / honeymoon fund
Animal toys
Donation option
House fund

Deciding to have a child free wedding can be a difficult decision. However, we have an idea of what to say.

WHY ADULTS ONLY?

Answer

Although we love your little ones, this is an adult only affair. We hope you will understand our decision to make the wedding children-free, and take the opportunity to let your hair down and celebrate in style!

For your wedding invites say “Adult only celebration” you can place this on the front of your invite or just on the detail section.

If you’re having a wedding website use the above explanation as to why.

**disclaimer- this is suggested for couples not having any child at their wedding**

We received this question a few days ago: How do I communicate everything to my bridal party?

Great question!

We suggest a group text once all your bridal party has been chosen. It can be one with just everyone included OR by bride/groom side. Could also be via Facebook messenger.

We also suggest another option, a Facebook event or google doc. This should include your timeline, important dates, outfit details and due dates. Don’t forget the fun stuff either!

Both of these options allow for everything to be in my spot and reference through the entire planning process and the day of.

We also suggest that you print out the timeline or create a basic one pager that can be saved and viewed easily.

If you want to sit with your bridal party a large head table is always a great way to have everyone included

The couple usually sits center with the attendants on either side

Traditionally one side is the brides and the other is the grooms

You don’t have to follow those traditions if your don’t want to, remember it’s YOUR day

If your feeling overwhelmed by planning. It’s okay to take a break. Take a few weeks off and breathe. Give yourself some grace.

Do some self care to recharge. Get hyped for your big day.

When you’re ready to get back into things tackle things on baby steps.

One tip: create an email especially for your wedding. Use this to reach out to vendors and keep everything you decide on in a folder.

You’ll be one step closer to an organized and beautiful day.
