Step One: Creating the Guest List

"Borrowing" the bride-to-be's address book and calling all her family and friends or as many people as you can comfortably accommodate in your house and in your budget.

Don't forget, not everyone that you plan to invite will be able to come. Studies have shown, that apart from close friends, co-workers and family members, only 30 per cent friends will show up. After all they have all played the bridal shower games many times before and there is monetary outlay involved (getting there and drinks). Everyone has so many social commitments already that assume less than half of the people you invite to actually show up.

Step 2 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Bridal Registry

When sending out the invites, always place a note as to where the couple has registered for gifts so that's they don't get three toasters and four waffle makers! And don't forget to include a RSVP card or call and make sure that your guest count is accurate

Step 3 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Plan the Venue

Depending on your guest list and budgetary restraints, decide if you want to host an intimate, cosy affair at home or have a more sophisticated and formal event at a restaurant or club house

Step 4 : Deciding on Food

Depending on the venue, make plans on catering the food, cooking it yourself or asking everyone to bring in a dish. If you choose the last option, always coordinate what each person is bringing so that you do not end up with four desserts and no salad. Assign one item to each person

Step 5: Whip up Games

Don't just go the old party games search the we and try to find something a bit more interesting then "the Usual" thats right make this nights entertainment memorable. One Game that good for showers is the scrap booking game. Basically ask each guest to make a scrapbook page for the bride putting them all together and give it at the bridal shower.
