Want your best friend to get married? Traditionally that make you automatically the main organizer, but there is also an alternative that other friends would come to you for unique wedding shower ideas to throw.
You don't have to end up with nothing to say, though. There are plenty of great concepts to choose from. You can start with the following:
Tip #1 - Enjoy a joyride.
Hey, when would be the next time that you can bring her to a road trip?
Rather than stick to a fixed venue for the entire duration of the bridal shower, rent a car, hop on, and go to the places that mean so much to all of you, especially to the bride. It's a faster way than walking down memory lane.
Tip #2 - Get the father to dance.
If you have a more conservative friend, you may want to invite her father as her surprise guest rather than male hunks who would end up gyrating later on.
An option is to ask her dad to dance with her as a way of slowly letting go of her daughter. It will not only melt her heart but would also bring her to joyful tears.
Tip #3 - Come up with a list of favorite things.
Be like Oprah and her Favorite Things. All guests can bring one item that would symbolize friendship, love, and care they have for the bride-to-be.
Tip #4 - Relax.
Girls don't just want to have fun all day long; they also want to relax. When you want to skip the traditional bridal shower games you can also invite your friends for a spa party.
You can rent a salon for a day and treat all the guests, especially the bride-to-be to a pedicure, manicure, and haircut.
Don't forget the cocktails too. It would be great to have your hair in a perm while drinking a cocktail, such as "Cuba libre" or "Jungle Juice".
Tip #5 - Be more adventurous.
You know what they say: marriage can make someone more domesticated. While your best friend is still not married or have a baby to take care of, why don't you all go to a camping trip?
You can also put your tracking shows on and have a walk through the forest. Another option is to spend a day at the beach or lake, enjoying kayaking, canoeing, or swimming. Play guitar, sing or chat in the night while sitting around of a little bonfire.
When thinking of bridal shower ideas, just keep this question in mind: what would make her happy? Surely, you can produce an infinite list of ideas.
