You just received a phone call from your sister, advising you that she is engaged. As her closest sister and friend, she has asked if you would be the person to throw the wedding shower. Eager and excited, you say yes and then realize you do not know much about wedding showers.

First, do not panic. Being the host of a wedding shower is an honor. As the host, you have the responsibility of organizing a gathering of close friends and family to ìshowerî the couple with well wishes for their upcoming wedding. While you can create any type of wedding shower, traditional versus themed, you want to create a setting for people to spend time with the couple before they become husband and wife.

Hosting a wedding shower is not necessarily difficult but it does require good organization. For example, you would need to determine the type of shower to give, the amount of money you have to spend, the names of the people to invite, and so on. Just remember that you do not have to do everything alone. This is the perfect opportunity to ask for help from the wedding party as well as the coupleís parents. Together, you can arrange for a wonderful occasion that will help take some of the stress off the couple while giving them the encouragement and support needed.

Potluck shower

If the budget is tight but you want to host an amazing wedding shower, you might consider organizing a potluck. In this way, each guest would bring some type of food within a specified category. To make the shower even more special, request that each guest bring the recipe for the dish so the couple will have new recipes for their own collection.
