Party Plan Bridal Showers

It used to be that an invitation to a Tupperware party was like telling you that you’re the epitome of domestic drudgery. Nowadays, the grand old lady of party plan has become cool, even funky. Party plan bridal showers may have started with peddling pieces of plastic but there are so many options now that you might have difficulty choosing which range of products to feature.

The best thing about party plan bridal showers is that the demonstrator does all the entertaining! You still have to provide some tasty treats and maybe a bowl of punch or some wine and champagne, but a good demonstrator will hold the games, conduct a wicked demo and have everyone laughing and chatting for the duration. That means party success even if you don’t have a knack for organizing informal get-togethers, especially when you potentially don’t know everyone too well.

Bridal Tupperfest

Don’t laugh, as mentioned previously, Tupperware ladies – and gents – throw great bridal showers! They do all these quirky little things like set up a pretend wedding cake using mixing bowls, and use an all-white color scheme and give out Tupperware brand ‘wedding favors’ to guests in attendance. At the party, guests can buy items for themselves and can also contribute a gift of money for the bride to choose what she’d like from the range. All the hostess gifts go to the bride, of course.

Lingerie for lovers

Lingerie bridal showers are quite popular, and the range can either be expensive and elegant or a little trashy and fun. It all depends on the personality of the bride, the kind of guests who’ll be in attendance and the general mood required. At some lingerie showers, you’ll even have toys to choose from! Giggles galore and plenty of ooh’s and aah’s will ensure the party is a big hit.

Candles

There are party plan companies dealing in candles and you’d be surprised at the immense range of candle products available. From aromatherapy to zodiac to mix-n-match fragrances, it’s fascinating to see how you can light your home beautifully and create an aromatic experience with a simple candle. You can even hold bridal showers where everyone gets to make their own candle and take it home.

Beauty for all

The number of party plan companies who sell cosmetics, skin care and spa products has grown hugely. Bridal showers where everyone gets to have a facial or a pedicure are really popular and of course, the bride reaps the rewards at the end, with all hostess gifts going to her.

Gourmet tastes

There are cooking demonstrations, wine tasting parties and cheese connoisseur parties; any of which would make wonderful bridal showers. Naturally, it depends on the guests as to whether an idea will work, but analyze who will be there and you’ll know what will be appropriate or not.

It can be difficult knowing what to buy for a bride you hardly know, if you are related to the groom’s side. It can also be a challenge to break the ice amongst guests who have never met and may have nothing in common other than knowing the bride or groom.

Catering to a dozen or more different tastes and making sure everyone has a good time can amount to a headache, but handing over the details to a party plan company demonstrator can be a godsend. They bring a great deal of enthusiasm, have lots to say and pretty much run the show. You might even find that if guests book parties of their own, they can result in new friendships being perpetuated and that’s always a wonderful spin-off to a happy wedding.
