Modern technology might have made it more difficult to throw surprises because almost everyone is aware of what is going on around the world. However, that does not mean you cannot throw a good surprise if you wanted to. There are at least a few things you can do when you are planning to surprise someone during a Bridal shower surprise arrangement. The following are some ideas.
Making the Lists Ready
The first thing you are going to need to do is make up the guest list. You really cannot go any further before you do this because you are going to need to find out who is willing to come, what days are good for everyone, how far they are going to be able to travel and so on.
Your guest list should include the friends and family members of the bride. This is what will give you the right indication of how many people will be turning up to your party.
Zeroing in on the Date
Once you have your guest lists ready, you can go ahead and plan the date. Selecting a date is never an easy affair. The biggest problem is that you are keeping this a secret from the bride, but at the same time you have to make sure that she will be able to come to the venue (whichever you choose) on that date, without having an inkling that you are planning something for her.
You can speak to her fiancé to see what his opinion is on this, and if you can get a hold of her datebook or calendar, without being overly nosy, you can check to see what dates she has free.
Keep the Bride Occupied
If the bride has no work to do, she can become suspicious sooner, especially when her close people are busy with something else, i.e. planning a shower for her that she does not know about. A good thing to do if you want to surprise her is to keep her busy. This allows you to plan and implement things better. But remember, she should not understand that you are trying to keep her out of the way.
Keep Everyone Quiet
This is very important, because even if one person tattletales to the bride, the whole surprise bridal shower is spoiled. Make everyone you speak with, including the ones ! you send invitations to, agree that they will keep this a surprise. It is best that you keep the weaker people out of this secret until the nth hour and that you don’t tell anyone who doesn’t need to know about these plans.
