Throwing a Bridal Shower: Tips & Registry Etiquette

[Tara1021]

Ok...so I have my first registry. Some friends of the bride are going to throw a shower for her in the summer for October wedding. How should I do that? If something isn't directly from the registry, the bride won't get the rewards. Should I list the bride as hostess of the shower??? HELP!

Usually you have the bride as a co-host with the host. I suggest you print off whatever is left of her wish list the day of or day before the shower. That way you have the list and can cross off things that are bought at the shower. When you get home, immediately update the registry.Congrats!

Hi there! Congratulations on your first registry! It's always exciting to start planning for a wedding. As for the shower, I think it's a great idea to list the bride as the hostess. That way, guests will know who the shower is for and can also see the bride's name on the invitation. As for gifts, I would recommend sticking to the registry as much as possible. If you really want to give something that's not on the registry, maybe consider adding a small note explaining why you chose that particular gift. That way, the bride will still feel appreciated and you can still give something special. Hope this helps!
