Your director can fill you in on Bridal Showers. There is also a Bridal Shower Sample Pack you can order on your paperwork supply. The company has invites- ask the host how many she'll need if you decide to use them so you can order enough. Or the host could just make up a flyer to be sent to everyone.

Gift GivingHi Sara -
I did a Pampered Bride show last month and it was a huge success!! One thing I recommend doing is ordering the Pampered Bride apron from the supply order and giving it to the bride as a gift. It was only $10 and she LOVED it! They also have a Pampered Groom apron if the groom chooses to be at the shower. All of the guests thought it was adorable too! You can even have the guests sign her apron at the end of the show - unless the bride would rather not have them sign it.
Also have the bride fill out a registry asap then post it online (if the bride wants you to). I had index cards with pictures of the items she registered for. I cut them out from the catalog and pasted them on the front of the card. Then on the back I listed the price and item number. Mine were color coded by category (stoneware, serving accessories, cookbooks, pantry etc). At the shower, I had these cards spread out on a table and the guests were able to pick one and when they were ready to order, they gave me their card along with their order and added it up for them. As I collected orders, I wrote down who got the bride what to give to her at the end of the show so she had a reference when she wrote out thank you cards, etc. I also had the cards laminated for future use. It only cost close to $5.
This is my SSM2 and am still fairly new at this. But those were just a few things that worked for me and the hosts at the show. The bride's sister and mother was so impressed with how everything worked out. After they saw how much she was getting for free - it lead to other conversations about being a consultant, etc. They are signing up this summer!! The mother's kid's even chipped in for her super starter kit for her Mother's Day present
Good Luck and have fun with it!!!

I use a "Bridal Tree" for my showers. My director took a branch that had fallen off of a tree and spray painted it white. Then she stuck it in a white flower pot, put some silver tissue paper around the tope of it, and tied a bow around the flower pot. We print out their selections on regular white paper, cut them out into hearts and tape a piece of ribbon on the back to hang from the tree. Everyone LOVES this idea! It really is cute! I've had nothing but RAVE reviews from using the "Bridal Tree".

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Bridal Tree and how is it used at a bridal shower?
A Bridal Tree is a decorative centerpiece that holds cards or notes from guests, often containing well wishes, advice, or favorite recipes for the bride. It serves as a beautiful keepsake for the bride to cherish after the shower.
What materials do I need to create a Bridal Tree?
To create a Bridal Tree, you will need a sturdy base (like a flower pot or a decorative box), branches (real or artificial), decorative elements (like ribbons or flowers), and tags or cards for guests to write their messages on. You may also want some twine or string to hang the cards from the branches.
How do I assemble the Bridal Tree?
Start by securing the branches into the base, ensuring they are stable. You can decorate the base with flowers or ribbons to match the bridal shower theme. Once the branches are in place, attach the tags or cards to the branches using twine or string, leaving enough space for guests to write their messages.
How can I encourage guests to participate in writing messages for the Bridal Tree?
To encourage participation, you can place the Bridal Tree in a prominent location and provide pens or markers nearby. Consider including a sign that explains the purpose of the tree and encourages guests to share their thoughts. You might also offer a small incentive, like a prize drawing for those who contribute.
What are some creative ideas for decorating the Bridal Tree?
You can personalize the Bridal Tree by using the bride's wedding colors or theme. Incorporate elements like fairy lights, flowers, or themed ornaments. You could also use different shapes or sizes of tags, such as hearts or flowers, to make it visually appealing. Adding photos of the couple can also enhance the decoration.
