A lot of thought goes into planning a bridal shower.
It's the bride's special day before the wedding and a lot of effort should be put in to ensure everything goes according to plan.
It is important to come up with a good theme for the bridal shower.
Bridal Favors gives you ideas on how to pull off an amazing bridal shower on a budget.
First thing one should do is involve another person in planning the shower.
This will help in dividing the work load which in turn will be less stressful.
Deciding the budget should be the first priority as it would determine most, if not all of the aspects of the shower.
The date of the shower has to be decided upon and the location.
If on a tight budget, one can have the shower at a friend's place.
This would cut costs drastically.
If you still prefer to have the shower outside at a restaurant, having the shower on a week day rather than a weekend would be more economical.
Not much or nothing at all need be spent on invitations or decorations.
The guest can be invited by email.
In order not to splurge on decor old Christmas decoration can be used along with other household items like bed sheets throw pillows etc depending upon your theme.
Borrowing decoration like plastic flowers and other such decor is a good way of cutting costs.
Food is the main item which usually throws one off budget.
In order cater to the party within or under budget a good idea would be to make a few dishes yourself.
If not the main course the entree could be home made as well as the cake or dessert.
Keeping the food simple and not have a lavish menu is a perfect way of staying under budget.
Lastly the games for the shower have to be decided.
This can be done without spending any money at all.
