I am planning a bridal shower for my sister in May. This will be my first bridal shower, so I'm kind of flying blind here! I am going to be the host and the consultant for the shower, so I have double the work!!! The shower is going to be outside making a demo a little difficult, and to be honest, I don't know if I want the stress of doing a demo at this shower since it will be a lot of my close friends and family, and I will want to chat and catch up with them.
So, here's what I'm thinking, but I need help. I am thinking that I may just do a trifle in the trifle bowl as a make-ahead, and possibly a couple of other make-ahead items. At the beginning of the shower, I will get up and talk about what I have made, the PC products, etc. We will do the apron, the bridal board, and possibly a wishing well. I also am trying to think of some games that would integrate the PC products. But for the meal, (I think we are going to do a luncheon style shower), I think I will just have all of the food already ready. I am thinking that maybe I can do a quick intro first, eat, then games and shower stuff/orders.
Has anyone done a shower similar to this, and how did you do it? How did it turn out? I want to do well from a consultant point, but I also want my sister do get lots of good gifts, too!

Set up work stations where they have to try the products & mark off what they did (you'll want 2-3 stations MORE than the number of guests). First one to fill their card (meaning they did all the work stations) wins a prize. Make it simple, like grate a small square of cheese (or chocolate), crack & separate an egg, etc. Or if you can borrow tools to have doubles of everything, you could just make it a relay race. Split the teams in half & have the first two put on an apron, do the task, then hand off the apron to team member #2 who does a new task, etc. First team to finish wins. 
ETA: Then of course, you'd talk about the items that are on her wish list & how much time she will save in the kitchen by using these tools ... allowing her more time to spend with her wonderful new husband cuddling on the couch!
