It\u2019s also a great way to showcase your creativity, thoughtfulness, and budget-savvy <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how to plan a bridal or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding shower<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> step by step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Agree Who Is Hosting<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">planning process<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by deciding who will host the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bridal shower<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is often the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">maid of honor<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> accompanied by the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bridesmaids<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bridal party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but it could also be a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">family member<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">close friend<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 like the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mother of the bride<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or the soon-to-be mother-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in-law<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re planning the celebration on behalf of someone else, ask who they would like to be involved. Then, you can take the lead and assign roles to others to help the process run more smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Finalize Your <\/b><b>Bridal Shower Budget<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-wedding events<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can get expensive with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bachelorette parties<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bridal showers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! Decide what your budget will be now so that you can plan an event to match. Think about the different elements of the event and how much you want to assign to each category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can, look for contributions from the guest of honor\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loved ones<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Even if they can\u2019t contribute funds, they may be able to make some wonderful <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decor or donate their time to help you plan an incredible day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Choose the Perfect Date<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ideal time to host a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bridal shower<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is 1-3 months before the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but you can adjust this to match everyone\u2019s needs and schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also need to decide on the best date and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time of day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the event. This helps determine whether you\u2019re planning a<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/bridal-shower-brunch-ideas\"><strong>bridal shower <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>brunch<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an afternoon tea, or a late-night karaoke party.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Find the Right Venue<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know your budget, look for the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">perfect bridal shower venue<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The place you decide on will depend on how much you want to spend, how many guests you have, and what type of event you\u2019re hosting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re on a budget or want to spend your funds in other areas, consider hosting it at home, in the backyard, or at a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">close friend<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">family member\u2019s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> home.
