Menus also depend on location. Ask the venue if they do this sort of thing, or have recommendations. Also ask if they have any restrictions in case you are planning to bring the food yourself. Some places restrict any red or purple drinks that could easily spill on expensive carpets. If you are on a budget or want to save money for other things, ask the bride's maids or family of the bride to bring one dish to share each. A pot luck dinner with favorites of good food will help bring the group closer, and opens up a world of conversation to talk about.

The last, but certainly not least, are the bridal shower favors. Favors also can be purchased online. They are far from little mirrors in cases, or fans, although those are readily available as well. You'll find all sorts of little favors, like mini spa baskets, glass vases, engraved key chains or even candles. Some more popular favors are also practical, like cookie cutters in cute shapes, or CD cases.

Once you have a plan in place, it is easy to become organized and put it all together. You can keep it as simple and as budget friendly as you want to, and still make it great. Remember, it isn't about expense or location, it's a day spent together with the bride and showing her a good time with some of her closest friends and family.
