In terms of pre-wedding events, the bridal shower is arguably the most important. It’s a day where the bride-to-be will be surrounded by family and friends as they celebrate her upcoming wedding and help usher her into life as a married woman. Compared to the effort that it takes to plan a wedding, organizing a bridal shower seems like it would be pretty easy, but that’s not always a case. Depending on who’s hosting, how large the guest list will be, and what kind of party the bride would like, planning the shower can actually require a great deal of work.
