Catering the Bridal Shower Yourself Ten Easy Tips to Stay Sane


Planning a bridal shower can be a challenge, particularly if you are going to be catering the event yourself. When you are preparing to host a shower, it is essential that you take time out to relax and do some initial planning. Bridal showers should be a unique opportunity to socialize with friends and family, and not a source of stress. Here are ten helpful tips to keep you sane when you host and cater a bridal shower.

Number of guests: When you are preparing to host a bridal shower, the guest list is the place to start because it will tell you so much about the type of plans you need to make. Work with the bride, or if you are planning on a co-ed shower, talk with the couple. Find out well in advance, prior to the planning stage, how many guests are to be invited. The number of guests will tell you if you can have the shower at someone's house or if you need to rent a hall or make some other plan. You need to know for many reasons, how many you need to plan for. You might find it necessary to rent tables, chairs and even dishes or a coffee urn, depending on the number of guests.Wedding Cake

Time of day: Another tip for catering a bridal shower by your self is to determine what time of the day the shower will be held. This can be a great help when you are wondering what food to serve. For instance, a brunch will be easier to plan than a shower that is held late in the evening when a meal is likely anticipated. In addition, if you hold a shower in the late afternoon, you will avoid the expectation of a large meal. You can plan for tea-time fare, such as cup cakes and little sandwiches. Decide ahead of time what time of day the shower will be held, and it will help keep you sane during the planning process.

Budget: Before mailing out any invitations, determine your budget. If you are on a limited budget, decide what you can spend, and go by it. The fun will certainly be over if you overspend and are faced with a big credit card bill after the shower. Make sure the bride is aware of your budget and work with her to plan a shower in accordance with it. It is even more fun to use your creative talents, and plan an elegant shower without breaking the budget.

Plan ahead and ask the bride: Planning well in advance is the secret to hosting a successful bridal shower. After you have discussed these things with the bride and set a date, you can begin making definite plans. If you plan on catering the event, never leave anything to the last minute. Putting it off can ultimately cause a lot of stress. Instead, use an event planner or a notebook to record all the of the bridal shower details. Remember that a shower usually takes at least eight weeks to plan, so give yourself lots of time to make necessary preparations. When you cater the event, know ahead how many guests you will serve and if any invitees have food allergies or other preferences, such as the bride being a vegetarian. Make detailed shopping lists and know exactly what you will need before going to the grocery store.

Make ahead and get help: Catering a bridal shower can be a breeze if you decide what to serve early on, and make dishes ahead of time. If you are serving casserole dishes, try making them a couple of weeks before the party and then freezing them until the day of the event. You can do this with certain desserts and appetizers as well. The night before the party is the best time to cut fruits and vegetables, decorate a cake and make finger foods. Strive to get it all done ahead of time in order to minimize stress on the day of the bridal shower. Also, don't hesitate to get others involved when you plan to cater a shower. It is perfectly acceptable to host a potluck style buffet where everyone brings a favorite dish. You can also enlist help from close friends or family members to help you cook and prepare dishes.

Theme: If you have a theme for the shower, such as brunch, co-ed barbeque or girl's day at the spa, you can prepare dishes to go along with the theme. This will make planning easier and everyone will know what to expect. Having a theme can also provide ideas for decorations and tableware.

Keep it simple and relax: These are two tips you should not forget when planning a bridal shower. Most guests won't remember the extravagant dishes it took you so long to prepare. Rather, they will remember the time spent visiting with the bride. Keep the menu simple and everyone will enjoy the shower including you because you won't be stressed. Finally, remember to relax. Take a deep breath and have fun. Don't spoil the shower by obsessing over every little detail. Enjoy yourself and your guests will, too.
