Planning a Bridal Shower: Tips & Ideas

[kayleigh]

I am getting ready to do my second bridal shower ever this month. The first shower, I was there to help guests with ordering, answering any questions, etc. I didnt do a demo, or really talk other than an introduction of myself and how the registry worked per the host and bride. : )

This bridal shower on the other hand is looking to be more "traditional" for lack of a better word. She is registered with Kohls and me of course. They have opted to send their own invites (because they already purchased them) which I said was ok. I want to include something in the invites though with information of her Pampered Chef registry and letting them know if they are coming to the shower they can order for the bride there as well as themselves. Do you have any ideas or already have something you use similar to this?

If so I would love to see it. Thanks in advance.

One idea I have used in the past is to include a small insert card with the invitation that states something like: "The bride has also registered with Pampered Chef for her upcoming wedding. If you are unable to attend the shower, you can still give the perfect gift and help support the bride's kitchen by shopping her registry online at [insert link to registry]." This way, people who are invited to the shower will know that they have the option to purchase from the registry either in person or online. Hope this helps!

Hello Kayleigh,Congratulations on being asked to do another bridal shower! It sounds like you did a great job at your first one and I'm sure this one will be just as successful.When it comes to promoting the bride's Pampered Chef registry, there are a few different ways you could go about it. Here are a few ideas to consider:1. Include a small insert in the invitations: You could create a small insert that can be included in the invitations that guests can easily detach and bring with them to the shower. This insert could have the bride's Pampered Chef registry information, along with a brief description of what the registry is and how it works. You could also include a special offer or discount for guests who purchase from the registry.2. Create a separate invitation for the Pampered Chef registry: If the bride is open to it, you could create a separate invitation specifically for the Pampered Chef registry. This could be a simple postcard or flyer that includes all of the necessary information and can be sent out separately or included in the main invitation.3. Utilize social media: If the bride is active on social media, you could create a Facebook event or group specifically for the Pampered Chef registry. This way, guests can easily access the information and ask any questions they may have.4. Send out a reminder email: Closer to the date of the shower, you could send out a reminder email to all of the guests with the information about the Pampered Chef registry. This could include a link to the registry, along with any special offers or discounts.I hope these ideas help you promote the bride's Pampered Chef registry and make it a successful part of the bridal shower. Good luck!
