The Fun Begins! It is traditionaly the job of the Maid or Matron of Honor to organise and hold
the Bridal shower.

The very first thing to do is make a list of the guests that will be attending. It is also a good idea to consider guests that may have smaller or school
children as this may dictate the day, time and place where the shower will be held.
You might like to get together for a coffee, sit with her (The Maid or Matron of Honor) and assist her in the guest selection process. Besides your normal
group of friends and family you will be inviting, you should not leave out a list from the groom and his parents, friends and family.
You may also consider the importantance of making a list of the items you might like to receive. Let's fact it!! One question many guests will ask,
"What does she have? What would she like? Or what will I buy her?"
It is not a taboo! To let the person orgaining the shower have a list of items, then she is able to casually let friends and family know what is on the list
and keep a list of who is giving what. It can be somewhat uncomfordble or a little embarrassing for some guests to ask.
The person organising the shower could make a list available to guests attached to the invitaion called gift suggestion. With this method there is no way to
prevent double-ups of gifts, however the gift suggestion list can include a verity of gifts that the bridal pair need or would like.
Keep in mid that this is only a service that is offered to your Bridal Shower guests and they should not be made feel that they need bring a gift> The other
consideration is the guest may wish to make a gift of some thing very personal that is not on the list.
Today Bridal Showers can be as elaborate or as simply as time and money permit.
The maid of honour may choose to hold, a home barbeque or held at some Botanical/Japanese gardens, an afternoon garden tea party at home to
a banquet dinner at a restaurant.
However this is a Bridal shower, this get-together is for the guests to "shower" the bride and does not have to be more then a finger food and wine
occasion or wedge sandwiches with tea/coffee, or if there are many people to cater for, a B-B-Q or Hungi with a barrel of beer may be the way to go, and in the case
of where there are many guests, make times flexible for people to arrive, to speak with the Bride/groom and present their gift, mingle for a time and leave as they
choose.
