How Do You Run a Bridal Shower Show?

[Tara1021]

I have my first one coming up in 2 weeks and I'm not sure exactly how to run it. I'm having the apron embroirdered with the bride's new last name and having her help me demo the lime berry mousse trifle. I'm just not what else to do to make it fun! HELP!!!

I did one today. I always ask the host if she wants me to do anything other than the standard demo. Today's wanted a game or two so I did the following:Game 1: Have everyone think about the product in their kitchen they most want to get rid of. Have them write down the reason (not the name of the product). Fold the paper in half. Now write down the name of their significant other. If they don't have one, have them write "unattached." Collect them all. Draw out one at a time. Ask, "Okay who belongs to (name of significant other)? Oh, no! He's (reason written on the inside)." The bride chooses the funniest, and she receives a prize.2. Put several items on a tray. (Use the Round Woven Selections, of course.) Have the bride walk around so everyone gets a good look at the tray, then have her go into another room. Now ask a series of questions about the bride: Is she wearing earrings? What shape is her engagement stone? Is she wearing flats or heels? And so on. Have the questions ready before the shower. I asked nine questions. Everyone is paying so much attention to the tray they don't look at the bride. It catches them all off guard!Other than that, I have a pretty wedding gift bag to collect the recipes. (The PC shower invitation has a recipe card attached.) I have everyone sign the PC apron with fabric pens in the wedding colors. I put up a display board with the bride's wish list items on separate sticky notes.I think that's about it.

Hi there! Congratulations on your first party coming up in just 2 weeks! It sounds like you have some great ideas already with the personalized apron and the lime berry mousse trifle demo. To make the party even more fun, you could consider incorporating some interactive games or activities that involve the guests. For example, you could have a blind taste test challenge where guests have to guess the ingredients in a dish, or a "name that kitchen gadget" game. You could also offer some prizes for winners of these games. Another idea is to have a raffle or giveaway for a pampered chef product. This will add an element of excitement and incentivize guests to participate. Also, make sure to have plenty of product samples for guests to try and offer special discounts or promotions for orders placed at the party. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy sharing your love for pampered chef products with others! Best of luck with your party!
