Welcoming Guests at the Bridal shower

cmdwalk · May 2010

I am giving my daughter a shower with over 40 people at a resturant, we really don't have a whole lot of time 3 hrs. I want my initial welcome to be a very good and sincere one. All I can come up with is "thank you for coming to help in the celebration of my daughter_______ and her future husband______."....and that is it.....it feels awkward....am I over thinking this?? I think I will then introduce her future mother in law and sister in law.....and then turn it over to my daughter who will then introduce her bridemaids.....then one of the bridesmaids will do the blessing, then food and games...then gifts Thanks for your thoughts

I think that is fine since you are the hostess. What we did at my shower before all the festivities began was we went around the room and everyone said their name and how they were related or knew me. That way I didn't have to point at everyone or walk around the room and they could say what they wanted.
