Never done a Bridal Shower...
So...When people order, these orders are shipped to the friend throwing the shower, right?
Now, if people order for the bride AND for themselves...
Does the friend give the BRIDE the gift, or the PERSON WHO ORDERED it?
...then they wrap and give it to the Bride???

OR...Does the Friend give the Bride her order, and the Person who ordered it her own order only.

Does someone have a download or something that makes this easier?
Does the person who places the order fill out a gift card...or do I do that later?

AHhh...so many questions...I want this to be easy for the guests, the friend throwing the shower...and for ME! LOL

TIA
 
I have guests order what they want and what they get for the bride and write bride after that item. When it comes in usually the brides address the host comes over separates with her and the bride keeps her items and they bag up the items for the guests and give them to them. /they sometimes order items for the wedding which are not marked as for the bride the guest gets those and can wrap them. The best part of the shower for guests is they don't have to wrap the gift.
hope that helps

It does help! Thanks!
I also found an order form in the Files here...that I printed out...
It has a section labled "For the Couple" and below a section labeled "For Myself"...I printed a few out for outside orders...
I may use them for the actual shower...

Is is necessary to give the little business card size cards for them to pass out that says she is registered on my website? She hasn't filled out her wishlist yet!! This will be held on Aug 31st!!! I'm scrabbling to get all this together ...I need to get catalogs etc out to her...and decide what food to make and how to decorate for it, etc...and I still have other shows, etc...

Thanks so much! I feel better just telling someone other than myself how behind I am on this!

the registry on the website is a separate benefit. It can get a little confusing when a bride has both a shower and a registry. There are consultants here who have done that successfully, however. Perhaps one of them will pop in here a give you some advice.
 


Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, it's completely normal to have questions about how to handle orders for a bridal shower. Don't worry, we are here to help make the process as easy and stress-free as possible for you and the guests attending the shower.Typically, when people place orders for a bridal shower, the orders are shipped directly to the friend throwing the shower. The friend can then choose to either give the bride her gifts or wrap them and give them to the bride at the shower.If someone is ordering for both the bride and themselves, the friend can give the bride her gifts and the person who ordered their own gifts separately. However, if the person who ordered wants to give their gifts directly to the bride, they can do so as well.To make things easier for everyone, you can suggest that the person placing the order fill out a gift card with their name and a message for the bride. This way, the bride will know who the gift is from and can thank them appropriately.If you have any further questions or need assistance with the ordering process, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I want to make sure this is a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Thank you for choosing Pampered Chef for the bridal shower!
