Answer:

Dear Val,

Some creative ways to get the Bride to the shower...I'd have to know the bride and her style to best answer this question. Things that come to mind automatically are having two of her best friends scoop her up and take her shopping and then one friend makes an excuse to drop by her house to pick up something very important (surprise!!).

You'll want to be sure that giving her a surprise party will not put undo stress on the already-overly-busy Bride-to-Be. I do want to caution, however, that most showers are better without the surprise element.

There’s also the delicate matter of her expectation of a shower. All Brides-to-Be know that a shower is part of the wedding ritual. If you do go ahead with the surprise shower, please throw it early so she isn’t left wondering if her friends have forgotten her. Again, the loving thing is to avoid adding any stress or distress to her life during this time.

I know you want to throw the best shower possible for your Bride-to-Be and planning a surprise party is a lot of fun, but in the case of a bridal shower, I think it’s best not to keep it a secret. By involving the Bride-to-Be from the beginning, you’ll be able to find out what she wants most at her shower and give her the party of her dreams.

Happy Showering,

Susan - The Shower Diva
