How to Throw a Hens Party in Five Easy Steps

By: Louise Servage. Step One: The Guest List

Firstly "borrow" the bride-to-be's address book and call all the names you feel you are familiar with her closest friends and family or as many names as you can comfortably accommodate in your house and in your budget.

Remember, that not everyone will be able to come, so keep that in mind. Research shows, that apart from really close friends, co-workers or family members, only 30 per cent of the second tier friends even show up. After all they have played the bridal shower games a gazillion times and there is monetary outlay involved (getting a gift). Everyone has so many social commitments already that assume less than half of the people you invite to actually show up.

Step 2 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Bridal Registry

When you send out the invites, always put in a note as to where the couple has registered for gifts so that's they don't get three toasters and four waffle makers! Include a RSVP card or call and make sure that your guest count is accurate

Step 3: Picking the Venue

Depending on your guest list and budgetary restraints, decide if you want to host an intimate, cosy affair at home or have a more sophisticated and formal event at a restaurant or club house

Step 4 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Deciding on Food

Depending on your choice of venue, catering of the affair can be a hassle cooking it yourself can be a hassle while asking everyone to bring in a dish can be a disaster. If you choose the last option, always coordinate what each person is bringing so that you do not end up with four desserts and no salad.

Step 5 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Whip up Games

A great way to get those hard to find games it to "google it" thats right grab some thing interesting from the thousands of websites that can give you the party edge. A tried and true favorite is the old scrap booking game where guest make a scrap book page for the bride and its put together and handed to the bride on the night.
