Step One: The Guest List

"Borrowing" the bride-to-be's address book and calling all her family and friends or as many people as you can comfortably accommodate in your house and in your budget.

Remember, not everyone will be able to come, so remember that. Studies shows, that apart from close friends, co-workers and family members, about 30% of second tier friends will show up.. Everyone has so many social commitments already that assume less than half of the people you invite to actually show up.

Step 2: The Bridal Registry

When you send out the invites, always put in a note as to where the couple has registered for gifts so that's they don't get three toasters and four waffle makers! Include a RSVP card or call and make sure that your guest count is accurate

Step 3 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Plan the Venue

Depending on your guest list and budget, decide if you want to host an quite affair at home or have a more sophisticated or wild event at a restaurant or club.

Step 4 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Decide on Food

Depending on the venue, make plans on catering the food, cooking it yourself or asking everyone to bring in a dish. If you choose the last option, always coordinate what each person is bringing so that you do not end up with four desserts and no salad. Assign one item to each person

Step 5: Games

A great way to get those hard to find games it to "google it" thats right grab some thing interesting from the thousands of websites that can give you the party edge. A tried and true favorite is the old scrap booking game where guest make a scrap book page for the bride and its put together and handed to the bride on the night.
