A Step by Step Guide on How to Throw a Bridal shower surprise

Sometimes it seems as though surprise parties are impossible these days with Blackberries, email and text messaging all posing as a spoiler. There are ways though that it can be done. If you wish to throw a surprise Bridal shower there are a few things to keep in mind and which will help to make it the best Bridal shower surprise ever.

The First Step

First things first you are going to need to make up the guest list. You really cannot go any further before this has been done because you are going to need to find out who is willing to come, what days are good for everyone, how far they are going to be able to travel and so on.

Make up a guest list of the bride-to-be’s best friends and closest family members, the number of people that you invite is really up to you and how many people you think they would like to have come.

Choose the Date

The next step in planning the Bridal shower surprise is to actually set the date. This can be somewhat tricky, because more than anything you are going to have to make sure that the bride herself is going to be able to make it on that date, but without letting her know that you are up to anything.

Speaking to the fianc to see if you can gain his assistance in the setting of the day, and if possible try to get a hold of her day planer/date book, without being overly nosy, you can check to see what dates she has free.

Keeping The Bride In The Dark

For the duration of the planning and preparing stages of the surprise Bridal shower you are going to need to make sure that the soon to be bride is kept blissfully in the dark and busy.

While trying not to make it too obvious what you are up too try to keep her occupied and out of the way, you should come up with some emergency (eg. Shoes for flower girls) to keep her occupied while you and the other girls are busy working away to make sure that her bridal shower is just right.

Keep Everyone Quiet

Bridal showers can be very exciting, especially a Surprise Bridal shower, but making sure that everyone keeps quite is the trickiest part of pulling it off.

The more people each person tells about the surprise party the more likely that it is going to leak out and the guest of honor will find out about the surprise, so make sure that all of the invited guests are tight lipped and keep it on a need to know basis.
