What to expect?

Hey! I'm having my bridal shower on Saturday - I've never been to a bridal shower...I have no idea what to expect. I feel like a loser lol. Anything I should be prepared for?

hi! thats soo strange that youve never been to a bridal shower lol.. well, if youve been to a baby shower its the same vibe. my shower was co-ed.. so FI's friends and family were there and so were mine. we just had an afternoon lunch, my MOH's introduced us and thanked the guests for coming, me and FI went to all the tables and spent some time with the guests then played some bridal games (guy and girl friendly! lol) and had dessert and that was pretty much it. some people open presents and every one ooohs and ahhhs over them..thats not my style, so we opted NOT to open the gifts there.. we just packed them in our car at the end and put them all in the middle of our living room and opened them

have a great shower!!

Depends on what the host comes up with, usually there's 3-5 games with prizes for the winner. Similar to baby shower.

Guests arrive, meal is served, play games, you cut cake, open presents, the end.

In my circle/family it is considered extremely rude to refuse to open the gifts. It's totally uncomfortable but that's what a shower is, a day to shower you with gifts.

At every shower I've been to, you mingle for a while and eat (sometimes there are games), then open presents, eat some cake, then go. Make sure you thank everyone for coming and for all the gifts before they leave. Most importantly, enjoy yourself!

I had never been to a bridal shower before my own either. It was fine.

And remember to send out the thank you notes in the next few days. It really means a lot to people and they will talk about how lovely you are. Trust me!!!

Mingle, chat, eat, say lots of thank yous...open presants! Pretty much covers it!! Do you have a theme? That's where I'm struggling!

I don't think it's strange that you've never been to a bridal shower..I've never been to one either and I'm married!

They are so much fun! I had three showers and before that had never been to a bridal shower before. It was so overwhelming how much work people go through for these events. Mine had a themes and cute little gifts and people made food, all for me! It was so nice. So, yes thank you cards are key. I had made a little booklet for my MOH to fill out who got me what and write own special things about the day. Some people have the MOH write down who got what in the cards. That is an option too. Other then that I just had fun and made sure to talk to everyone and thank them for coming.
