noradawn said:I have a couple bridal showers this month, and I was wondering how everyone host coaches for them. Do you do all the normal things? The post cards I usually send out don't really seem to fit a bridal shower. Please post how you host coach for bridal showers. Thanks!
I give the host and the bride a letter letting them know what to expect. I stress to the host that she needs to be sure that all guests know that they are not to bring gifts but that they SHOULD bring outside orders and plan to buy for themselves too because it adds to what the bride will get for free.
I give the bride a gift registry to fill out and ask her to return it ASAP so I can prepare my bridal book for her party.
If necessary, I meet with them both to plan the details but usually I just work with the host.
