Start your bridal shower planning by deciding on a budget. This will greatly influence the rest of your ideas. Consider the number of people throwing the bridal shower, as the cost will be divided. Try and come up with a figure that is affordable for all involved.
Having a wedding shower budget checklist will be very helpful. Make a list of all categories of your party, start to finish, that will have an expense.
• Beverages
• Bridal shower gift
• Cake
• Decorations
• Disposable cameras or other photo costs
• Favors
• Food
• Games
• Invitations
• Music
• Paper goods: plates, cups, napkins, utensils, etc.
• Prizes
Once you have your checklist completed, determine the number of guests. Your bridal shower food and drink, will be two of your larger expenses. Think about what is within reason for the number of guests invited.
Go over each item in your shower budget checklist, and allot a certain amount to each category, until you are happy with the results. Keep your priorities in mind. For instance, having less guests, would save money, but you may decide you can't cut the guests list. In this case, the food can be less extravagant, or you might just serve cake and coffee.
Starting your bridal shower planning with a budget will help you to focus your attention on what's important, and will also be a time saver.
