Five Easy Steps to throw a hens party
Written by Louise Servage on June 23rd, 2008Step One: The Guest List
Secretly borrow the telephone book of the bride to be and call all the names you feel you are familiar with as in she mentions often amongst her closest friends or as many names as you can accommodate in your house and in your budget.
Don’t forget, not everyone that you plan to invite will be able to come. Studies have shown, that apart from close friends, co-workers and family members, only 30 per cent friends will show up. After all they have all played the bridal shower games many times before and there is monetary outlay involved (getting there and drinks). 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: The Bridal Registry
When sending out your invites, always include a RSVP card or call and make sure that your guest count is accurate. As well as this include a note as to where the couple has registered for gifts so that’s they don’t get three toasters and four waffle makers!

Depending on your guest list and budget, decide if you want to host an quite affair at home or have a more sophisticated or wild event at a restaurant or club.
Step 4 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Deciding on Food
Depending on the venue, make plans on catering the food, cooking it yourself or asking everyone to bring in a dish. 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. Assign one item to each person

Don’t just go the old party games search the we and try to find something a bit more interesting then “the Usual” thats right make this nights entertainment memorable.
