- 1). Start building the bridal shower wishing well from the ground up. The large laundry basket will be the base and the place where shower gifts are collected. Get a rectangular laundry basket with sturdy sides and handles.
- 2). Using tape and/or yarn, attach the mop to one of the sides of the basket that does not have a handle. The sponge should be hitting the bottom of the basket, with the handle going straight up.
- 3). Directly opposite of the mop, attach the broom in the same way. These two rods will form the sides of the wishing well for the wedding shower.
- 4). The rolling pin will connect the two sides. Place the pin about 6-8 inches from the top of the broom and attach it using yarn or duct tape.
- 5). Before connecting the other side, slide the bucket onto the rolling pin. This will act as the well for your bridal shower wishing well. Shower guests can place cards in the bucket.
- 6). Finish attaching the other side of the pin to the opposing rod.
- 7). Cut the cardboard so it's slightly longer than the length of the basket and about two feet long. This will be the roof of the wedding shower wishing well. You can decorate it anyway you want. Paint it in a brick pattern, put pictures of the bride and groom on it, or cover it in paper or fabric.
- 8). Fold the cardboard in half to form a roof. Rest it on top of the broom and mop handles to complete the bridal shower well. Use tape to keep it in place.
- 9). When you send out wedding shower invitations, let guests know you'll be having a wishing well to collect small gifts. One popular wedding shower idea is to make up a short poem and assign each guest to bring a kitchen gadget. The items should be less than ten dollars, since it will be in addition to the shower gift. Ask guests not to wrap or put their name on the small gift.

When guests arrive at the bridal shower ask them to place their small gift in the wishing well and present them all to the bride.
