Here are some tips for planning the ultimate surprise bridal shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bridal shower invitations say that it is a surprise.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to send out invitations earlier. Typically bridal shower occurs 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding. For a surprise bridal shower, you would want to send out invitations at least one month before the shower that way you will have your RSVP and the guest list ready. And it will give some time for guess that has to travel to make arrangements. The invitation could say something like it\u2019s a surprise on it so then guests will know not to spill the beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have it at a venue (if possible).<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s nice for a surprise bridal shower to take place outside of your home. It may be difficult to plan and decorate because the bride could come by. An unexpected pop-up from the bride could ruin the surprise. Having a venue means there\u2019s a separate place for you to put decorations and a separate place for you and other bridesmaids to plan. And it may be obvious to the bride that something\u2019s up when your house has a million cars parked outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make sure the bride is available that day.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure that the bride is not working that day or has anything on her schedule. You can do this by telling the bride that you have a party going on, or a friend has a party going on. It is better to tell the bride there is a party happening so that she can dress up for it and prepare for it. Just don\u2019t tell her that the party is for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the groom involved.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprise bridal showers are very fun because the groom can get involved. You can get some information from him like her schedule, gift ideas, and game ideas. He would also have some great pictures for you to share for your display table or slideshow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make sure everyone arrives early.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure all guests arrive early. A good idea is to put in the expected arrival time and \u201csharp\u201d in parentheses so that guests know what time exactly should be there. Also, it is good to call the guest list and just remind them that it is a surprise bridal shower and everyone should arrive early.  If you have a Facebook group for the event. You could post reminders there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, is a great idea to have a surprise bridal shower. It takes some of the load off the bride when she doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on.\u00a0 The surprise bridal shower should be explained on the invitations,\u00a0 the location should be as specific as possible, and The bride should be available that day and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you follow these tips, this surprise bridal shower will be an ultimate success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;How would you keep a surprise bridal shower secret?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"amzn-assoc-ad-3f0dab77-d172-40fa-958a-4177e05051b9\"><\/div><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US&amp;adInstanceId=3f0dab77-d172-40fa-958a-4177e05051b9\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of your best friends is getting married and you want to do something special for her.
