The First Step

Planning is needed, without which any event can turn out to be a damp squib. Make a list of the people you are going to invite and ask them to RSVP. This gives you a fairly accurate number of the people who will come. Also, make allowances if a lot of people cannot make it on a particular day because you need all important p! eople to be present. If some people need to travel, take that into consideration too.

Who to include in the guest list? The close family members and the friends of the bride must all be there. This is a way to start making the list actually.

Zeroing in on the Date

Once you have your guest lists ready, you can go ahead and plan the date. Selecting a date is never an easy affair. The biggest problem is that you are keeping this a secret from the bride, but at the same time you have to make sure that she will be able to come to the venue (whichever you choose) on that date, without having an inkling that you are planning something for her.

You can speak to her fiancé to see what his opinion is on this, and if you can get a hold of her datebook or calendar, without being overly nosy, you can check to see what dates she has free.

Involve the Bride with Something Else

If the bride has no work to do, she can become suspicious sooner, especially when her close people are busy with something else, i.e. planning a shower for her that she does not know about. A good thing to do if you want to surprise her is to keep her busy. This allows you to plan and implement things better. But remember, she should not understand that you are trying to keep her out of the way.

Have a Secrecy Pact

Bridal showers can be very exciting, especially a Bridal shower surprise, but you have to make sure that everyone keeps quiet. The more people each person tells about the surprise party the more likely that it is going to leak out and the guest of honor will find out about the surprise, so make sure that all of the invited guests are tight lipped and keep it on a need to know basis.
