Help! I Just Booked My First Bridal Shower

[Meigs]

TOTALLY CLUELESS!!! I am it. She has nothing planned and has asked me to take care of it all.
Invitations, Recipe, Gifts, Games.....

Suggestions desperately needed!!!!!

Thank you!

Hmmm, that’s an interesting request.

When I present a Wedding Shower Show, I work with whoever is hosting the show. I will give them the invitations to send, work with the bride & groom on their wish list and demo one recipe (as quickly as possible) at the shower. You can have the bride-to-be prepare the recipe with you (some people have the bridal party help) or just do it yourself if you think that will be quicker.

I usually recommend that the games be kept to a minimum (one!). and give them suggestions of what they might like to do – but it’s up to the host to plan that part. Also, if they want to have “gifts” they would provide those but they could purchase them ahead of time (if there is time enough) from you.

You can search the links below for lots of great ideas on how to present a Wedding Shower Show.

It sounds to me like you’re being asked to do a lot of things that I don’t consider as part of your job description in this situation. So, pick and choose what you are willing to do. This is your business and you need to set boundaries or people will set them for you.

It does sound like she's asking you to HOST the shower and not just be the consultant. That's odd and not really how PC Wedding Showers go. Maybe she misunderstood that?
