Who May Find This Useful
Consultants looking for innovative ways to assist brides with wish lists and enhance bridal shower events may find these shared experiences valuable.
I always send the bride a catalog and just have her circle what she wants. Then I have her send it back to me. Once, I get it back then I think of some creative way to "write" up her wish list. I had a shower 2 weekends ago and I cut out purple (that was the colors for her wedding) flowers out of card stock and then I wrote 1 product on each flower. I think I cut out 125 flowers. I also wrote on the flower the page number, the price and the product number to make it easier for the guests to find and decide which ones they wanted for the bride. I also had each guest write on the back of the flower a message for the bride and put their name on each one that they bought so the bride would know what each person got her. The guest were also instructed to make sure their address was on at least 1 of the flowers so the bride could write her thank you and already have their address. Then when the guest came up to pay I collected all the flowers and I had brought a gift bag all ready with tissue paper and I put all of them in the bag and presented it to the bride. That way I felt like she had something to open from her bridal shower.
