It is every girl’s dream to have the perfect wedding and most girls already have a picture in their mind of how their wedding will look like. More often than not, ladies on wedding preparation mode tend to overlook a certain precursor to their wedding – their bridal shower.

Bridal showers are a way of saying goodbye to single hood as the bride prepares for her wedding. Since brides are usually preoccupied with wedding arrangements, it is usually up to family and friends to come up with a good bridal shower idea and memorable bridal shower activities.

The bride’s tastes and personality are certainly factors you should take into account as you begin to plan your bridal shower activities. It’s important to understand the bride’s preferences and point of view on her shower as these will influence many of your decisions. Staying true to the bride’s personality will also help you make the bridal shower memorable and unique. From the start, think about how you can break free from “traditional” activities, like making a tissue paper wedding dress or playing pin-the-tail on the bridegroom. Instead, create a set of bridal shower activities completely centered on the bride that will engage both her and your guests.

For example, go to a classy hotel and spend the day having the bride (and guests) completely pampered and catered to. Imagine how nice it would be to have aroma therapy, massages, hot saunas, or a dip in the hotel Jacuzzi. Follow that with time together in a comfortable room where you can all reminisce about the times you’ve spent with the bride.

For the more down-to-earth bride, a good idea is holding a bridal shower at the local mall, which usually has the potential for generating loads of fun bridal shower activities. Take the bride on a shopping spree, but please make sure you have a budget, you don’t want to max out your credit cards. Later take the bride to the mall caf and let her sweet tooth indulge in chocolate, ice cream or whatever she feels like having. It’s a one day activity so, no holds barred. Pass by the lingerie shop and have the bride flaunt some of that elegant attire to her guests.

Alternatively, for the outdoor, nature loving bride, having a bridal shower at the country side is not such a bad idea. Fun bridal shower activities such as wine tasting, bungee jumping, canoeing, hiking and planting some trees for remembrance of that day are just some of the few activities you can engage in. Better yet, you can head out to the beach and carry along a full picnic basket and a few bottles of wine. Hire a performer to keep you entertained through out the day, just make sure you and the bride have fun. In the evening you could light a bonfire and let your hair down. On the other hand, you can have a party at the bride’s house in the evening and invite all her friends, family and neighbors.

There are a lot of fun-filled shower activities for the bride out there. So the next time you find yourself organizing one, you know what to do.
