Happy Friday ya’ll!!


Okay so I have a WONDERFUL group of Ladies that are planning a bridal shower for me(it’ll be at my house). So I am wondering what my duties are. Am I in charge of favors/gifts? I asked my maid of honor if I can help with anything, she said no! I also asked my mother to reach out to her and she gave her a no as well. Just checking to see what your experiences are. ❤️

    Typically others plan and coordinate the bridal shower.

    That's sweet of you to offer! But usually the bride just sits back and relaxes. Whoever throws the shower for you will plan everything! They might ask for your opinions etc., but ultimately it's the hosts that get everything together!

    You should be able to just shout yourself. It’s nice that you offered but let others do for you. Enjoy it!

    This is an occasion where you sit back as the bride and let the lovely people in your life make this day special for you.

    I would definitely take them at their word ("no"). Just sit back and enjoy.

    I don't think the bride is responsible for anything when it comes to the bridal shower besides creating a registry. Just try to enjoy it and send thank you cards when it's over!

    Well technically brides don't really have responsibilities for a shower someone else is throwing them but for me that wasn't the case ahah i provided the tables and chairs needed in my mother in law's backyard where my bridal party was hosting. i also provided some of the prizes for the games. i also help set up.

    honestly my bridal party had good intentions but their execution was a mess and at the end of the day though i thought it was ok to help out.

    Provide a guest list so they know who to invite and then sit back and enjoy. They are throwing a party for you!

    Your only responsibilities are to provide a guest list and give thank you gifts to the hostess(es.)

    I would say you can offer to help with set up and clean up (but they may say no). And yes to hostess gifts! I don’t know if that’s what you meant by gifts Smiley smile

    You are responsible for giving them a date you are free, and a guest list.

    And then you show up and enjoy it.

    (Helping clean up is always a nice way to say thank you.)

    As a bride, the extent of your involvement is providing a guestlist and available dates..and show up on the day of. Beyond that, you are the guest of honor and you do not contribute anything.
