Keep the Bridal Shower Intimate
Regardless of everything going on, many brides are still following through with their events (with safety precautions of course!) and we LOVE to see it. One key way to do this is by keeping your events intimate and COVID friendly. It’s the best way to go to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. But don’t get us wrong – planning a small party doesn’t mean you have to cut down the fun! Being with your closest friends and families will result in a small gathering with BIG memories to be made.
Make your bridal shower stand out by paying attention to the details. It makes a world of a difference and doesn’t take as much effort as you think! Create anticipation for your fun soirée by picking out perfect invitations. Make sure it aligns with your theme & colors! There are LOTS of options out there, so skip the Googling and say hello to our friends at Peach Wolfe Paper Co. They make insanely cute invitations for just about any theme. Who would’ve thought that invitations could be so exciting and fun!?
Did Someone Say Mimosas?!
*Clink Clink!* What’s the best thing about brunch besides the food?… That’s right, bottomless mimosas!! Planning a bridal brunch just might be our favorite idea yet. 😉 Sitting around enjoying good food with your favorite pals sounds like a perfect time, don’t you think?
Brunch is not only easier to plan, but who doesn’t like a good mid-day breakfast! Just make sure you balance the savory with some sweets, like this beautiful statement cake from Catie Cakes.

To start, choose a picturesque location such as a blooming garden, tranquil park, or even a charming backyard with lush greenery. Set the tone by incorporating natural elements like fresh flowers, hanging lanterns, and whimsical decorations that seamlessly blend with the surroundings.
For example, you could serve up her favorite foods and signature drink, decorate in (or wear) her favorite color or reference a film or book she loves in the theme and décor. It's a fun way to make the bride feel extra special on her big day. Add personal details. The guests should feel special too.
Speaking of themes, there aren't too many rules when selecting a theme. The key is to consider the bride-to-be. Does she have a certain interest that could be turned into a fun theme? The one thing I don't recommend is using the same theme as the wedding.
Go Somewhere Unique. You're not obligated to sit on the back patio or stake out your parents' country club. Head to a pasta-making class, boozy art class, vineyard, brewery, salon, beach or gorgeous restaurant to spice things up and make your shower feel extra special (and worth the trip for any out-of-town friends).
In short, the host is the one who pays for the bridal shower—or at least some of it. Most commonly, this is the maid of honor, but the couple's relatives, friends or even the to-be-weds themselves can all pitch in to cover the cost of the wedding shower.
"Under optimum circ*mstances, the attendants in the bridal party would host the shower," said Gottsman. According to Gottsman, the mother of the bride (MOB) should be a guest, but should not participate.
Traditional etiquette dictates that the maid of honor—not the mother of the bride—should host the shower. Nancy is a freelance writer for MarthaStewart.com. Some etiquette rules were meant to fade away into oblivion, like the one about family members of the bride not hosting her bridal shower.
Many brides choose to wear white to all of their pre-wedding events. That includes their bridal shower, bachelorette party, and rehearsal dinner. You can't go wrong with a pretty white dress — no matter the fabric or silhouette!
“Nothing too risqué, nothing to overshadow the bride in any way, and nothing too formal,” says Abbasi. “Go with fun, comfortable, and whatever makes you feel your best self.” Simply put, no white ensembles, no outfits with extravagant silhouettes, like ball gowns, and no skin-barring getups.
Most bridal showers are usually held three weeks to three months before the wedding. The trick is not to plan it too far in advance or too close to the wedding date.
Traditionally, the bridal shower was hosted by the maid of honor and bridesmaids, not the mother of the bride or her future mother-in-law. Why? Because an event being hosted by a bride's mother, mother-in-law, or any relatives made it appear as if the woman of honor and her family members were asking for gifts.
Typically, as per tradition, the mother of the groom will bring a gift for the bride to the bridal shower. It can be something small and thoughtful. However, if she cannot attend the shower the bride's side of the family hosts, maybe because of distance, she can host her own.
A bridal shower usually starts between 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. and lasts between two and four hours. If the bridal shower theme includes brunch, you'd want to host the event on the earlier side, while an afternoon tea would be on the later side.
A beautifully adorned table with flower decoration, palette-inspired decor, a stylish bar cart, minimalist tables, a romantic flair, a cloud of baby's breath, a monogram backdrop, and more—these elements can create your perfect bridal shower cake table decor.
Most bridal showers are usually held three weeks to three months before the wedding. The trick is not to plan it too far in advance or too close to the wedding date.
