While cheese & crackers and mini sandwiches are always fun, it’s good to do something a little outside the box too! For example, at Brooke’s brunch shower, we made a fun donut cake and also set up a yogurt bar too. Once you have a theme in mind, your menu planning will be pretty easy, but a good rule of thumb is to have some hot and cold dishes, something salty and something sweet, and if alcohol is going to be flowing, make sure you have plenty of food on hands so your guests don’t get too tipsy! Also, make sure to keep in mind you guest list so you have an adequate amount of food for everyone. I threw my friend Brooke an amazing Bubbly & Brunch shower to go along with her champagne obsession that was truly the best day ever! MENU If your bride is really into margaritas and Mexican food, maybe a fun fiesta would be right up her ally. If your bride loves all things wine, a wine-themed shower would be perfect. There are TONS of ideas on website, blogs and Pinterest of course, but make sure you also pick something that represents your bride too. It’s important to get a theme and color scheme decided early so the rest of your planning has a guide to follow. The DetailsĪfter you’ve establish the basics of the party, it’s time to move onto the fun parts – the details! Some things to consider include: THEME/COLOR SCHEME Keep the lines of communication with your bride open during this portion of the planning process so everyone is on the same page about the party. It’s important to start with these items first so you don’t begin planning an intimate party at a small winery and then realize your bride wants to invite 50 family members after you’ve paid a deposit. If she doesn’t have all this information at once, at least ask her to give you her guest list so you can begin anticipating how many people will be there.
