The bridal shower is generally hosted by the maid of honor or the bridesmaids and is a good opportunity for the women attending the wedding to meet and spend time with the bride before she walks down the isle.

Top bridal shower tips:

• Only invite women who have been invited to the wedding to the bridal shower.
• Plan the bridal shower no more than two months ahead of the wedding and send out formal invitations or email invites.
• Give out party favors for the guests, as these are always a lovely gesture. Go traditional with small boxes of sweets or chocolates or get creative and make something like a bracelet or bookmark.
• Remember to consider the theme of the party. If you are planning a naughty shower, make sure you notify the guests. Many of them will have children and would need to make arrangements with a sitter.
• Theme your party and notify the guests beforehand. Masked parties and dress-ups are often a lot of fun.
• Always remember the bride's interests.
