chefmom said:I just did a craft fair this weekend and had a lady accidentally mark bridal shower on the info form and when I asked her about the wedding she meant to mark kitchen party but does have a son getting married soon, but her future daughter in law is in another state. I mentioned that we could do a bridal shower via e-mail and my web site. Any ideas on how to sell this and present a e-mail??

Thank you for your great idea for the internet bridal show! I am also in the same boat. I had a guest book a show for a bridal shower, that will be in Montana, but the host lives here. They are attempting to have the shower May 17, and the wedding is mid-June. Here is my dilemma. Since the show was booked so close to the actual shower, would it be tacky for the host to have the brides friends actually order at the shower and then those gifts will arrive in time for the wedding? I printed out all the stuff from the PC website and plan on having the bride to be fill out an online registry in the next day or so. help!! I am a newer consultant and have never done a bridal show, let alone one in another state!
Thanks for any help any of you might have. I hope this makes sense!!

A virtual bridal shower is an online celebration that allows friends and family to come together via video conferencing platforms to honor the bride-to-be. It provides an opportunity for loved ones to share in the joy of the upcoming wedding, even if they are physically distant.
To host a virtual bridal shower, choose a video conferencing platform like Zoom or Google Meet, set a date and time, and send out digital invitations to guests. Plan activities, games, and a gift registry to make the event engaging and interactive.
Activities for a virtual bridal shower can include games like trivia about the couple, virtual bingo, or a scavenger hunt. You can also have a cooking demonstration using Pampered Chef products, share stories, or have a toast to the bride-to-be.
You can incorporate Pampered Chef products by hosting a cooking demonstration where guests can follow along and prepare a dish together. Additionally, you can create a gift registry featuring Pampered Chef items that guests can purchase for the bride.
The benefits of a virtual bridal shower include the ability to include guests from different locations, reduced travel costs, and the convenience of hosting from home. It also allows for creative and interactive experiences that can be tailored to the couple's preferences.
