One of the most fun things to do when helping your friend plan her wedding is to throw her a bridal party! It is the job of the Maid of Honor and other Bridesmaids to plan and host this event, from the drinks (if you decide to have any) to the location (bride's house? restaurant?) to the games. You may consult the bride before deciding upon the details, unless of course it's a surprise party. See what kind of party she wants, then get to planning!! Here are a few things to take note of when you are planning:
*Make sure you assign specific tasks to certain members of the bridal party so no one gets confused and things aren't left out. For example, have different girls send out invitations, greet guests as they arrive, order/make the food, etc. TheKnot.com has a great Bridal Shower checklist: http://wedding.theknot.com/bridesmaids-mother-of-the-bride/bridal-shower-ideas/articles/a-bridal-shower-planning-checklist.aspx
*Use name tags so those who don't know each other can talk to one another. If it helps, give each other titles, such as "aunt of the bride to be".
*Since gifts are the major focus of a bridal shower, make sure you're organized. Be sure to have someone record what gifts the bride gets and who it's from.
*Make it fun! Some traditions at bridal showers are: play games, tell funny stories, eat, drink, and be merry! For great entertaining ideas, visit BridalShowersEtc.com: http://bridalshoweretc.com/more_activities_for_your_bridal_shower.php.
