Organizing a Bridal Shower: Gift Certificate Questions

[hindy]

Hi Everyone,

I am doing my first Bridal Shower and want to offer the guests the opportunity to buy a gift certificate for the bride to be. But I don't think they are offered anymore...is that true?

thanks
Cynthia

They are not, but you can create you own and make them redeemable only through you.

You would have to make your own if you wanted to.I've had people who want the bride to pick out their own gift. What I do is get a check or cash from them then I put the bride in as a guest and have her pick the items that she wants from the cash/checks. This way it adds to the show value and could possibly put her up to the next level.

I got some printed for free from Vistaprint (just have to pay shipping). I set them out at my last party and someone bought one for her mom, who then turned around and bought almost twice the amount of stuff as stated on the gift certificate.

I made some, although I haven't sold any as of yet, I offer them to guest as an intensive to become a future host. I also got mine at vista print. They look awesome and have worked a few times so far!! Good luck!

Could you send me more information on how you designed them? (If you have a source file that I could alter, that would be ideal) You did a great job with yours, they look very professional!

Please send it to [email protected]

I need this today, if at all possible, so there is time for christmas gift!

I get cash or check from the guest and let the bride know that "Grandma G. gave $30". I use that money to purchase items from her wish list on her order (which is the host order). I put the groom in as the guest and EVERYTHING that has been purchased by guests (for the bride & groom) is on an order under his name.

LOVE the idea of using the groom as the guest. Never would have thought of that to simplify things in case they ever have issues. Thanks so much for the idea!

The person who posted it has not been on ChefSuccess in two years. This thread is from 2012.I would suggest looking in files, use a keyword of bride or bridal and see what comes up that might work.Someone might have a version they can share, but the original poster is likely NOT around anymore.

 

[Rhonda Reid]

Thank you esavvymom. I usually look at the dates....I guess i missed this one.

Hopefully, now that everyone has switched to the web system, they'll bring back the Bridal Registry and Gift Certificates in some form- as they said they would. We shall see!
