THE ETIQUETTE OF BRIDAL SHOWERS

Make sure there’s enough room.

Even if the MOH is hosting the shower,
she’s not obligated to stuff 45 women into her tiny studio apartment for
three hours. If one of the prospective guests, who the bride is very close to,
such as her grandmother or a coworker, volunteers her more spacious home,
say yes! And if she doesn’t offer up her place? She may readily agree to it
if you just ask.

Don’t have an overambitious menu.

A restaurant has multiple ovens and can prepare large quantities of food at once,
a shortcoming in most home kitchens. It’s a good idea to limit the number of foods
that all would need reheating at the same time since they won’t all fit in the oven
at once. Keep the menu simple with hot and cold choices—for brunch, you could
serve classics such as quiche, fruit salad, scones, and muffins. Or adopt a ladies’
tea theme and have finger sandwiches (salmon, cucumber, chicken salad) and
mini tarts, so no reheating is necessary.

Hire a bartender.

Since the food will most likely be set out as a buffet, there’s little need for servers
(though you might consider hiring someone to help with setup and cleanup).
Instead, hire someone to handle the bar. Having a bartender to pour mimosas
(or another fruity cocktail), wine, and iced tea will elevate the ambiance, giving
the party an extra special touch.

Designate a gift spot.

You may need to clear out some furniture to make room for all the coffee makers
and bed linens hiding in gift bags that guests will be bringing. (Get the homeowner’s
approval before you move anything.) Since opening gifts is a major activity during
a bridal shower, make sure the area is in plain view of guests so they can ooh and
ah every time the bride unwraps a new treasure.

Decorate with care.

Be respectful of the house itself—that means not sticking décor on the walls that
will leave marks when removed, not using glitter on anything (most will end up
on the floor), and avoiding setting vases full of water on wood tables (they could
leave a ring).

Give an end time.

Even though you didn’t have to “book” the place for a certain number of hours as
you would at a restaurant, the invitation should note not just when the shower starts
but also when it ends. This will help guests plan their day and obligates no one to
hang out for hours. It’s also a courtesy to the host—at some point, she wants her
house back!
