How to plan a bridal shower
Celebrating your last moments as a single lady before you head into married life, a day (or night) out of fun with your closest gal pals, what’s not to love? A bridal shower is one of the few pre-wedding festivities you can choose to have before your big day, so here are some ideas.
Planning process
Most bridal showers would consist of a fun activity followed by a cosy meal with you and your friends. The activity can range from a pampering session at a spa, to a day at the trampoline park for the more sporty.
Trampoline park
Talk about unconventional! Work up a sweat with the ladies while satisfying your inner child as you and your friends jump around a huge room filled with trampolines everywhere. Not only will you and your friends get a great workout, there’s something about bouncing off the walls that helps you to relieve stress and have fun.

Pampering
Arrange a spa and manicure session for you and your friends, for some much needed rest and relaxation time, amidst your busy working schedule. Ask the spa about private group packages that they might have in order to cater for your bridal shower.

Baking workshops
Get domesticated and pick up a new skill with your friends with a baking workshop! Treat as a good bonding experience, and get to enjoy the treats you’ve baked after the session. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

Art jamming
Ever saw a painting at a museum and thought “I can do that too!” Well, unleash your inner artist and paint away like a professional with palettes and easels at an art jamming session! Painting is known to be a great form of de-stressing as well, plus you get a wonderful painting to take home and hang up on your walls at the end of it.

Karaoke
Bring out that bathroom singer in you as you and your friends belt out your favourite tunes. You don’t have to be a fantastic singer in order to have fun, although you might have future blackmail material on some of your friends. Karaoke sessions make for a nice intimate setting for a bridal shower, and is definitely a more budget-friendly option. Afterall, it’s the company that matters, isn’t it?

Dessert table
These days, no celebration is complete without cake, a dessert table, and a fancy instagrammable backdrop for any celebration. After all, if you don’t gram it, did it really happen? Consider a set up that echoes that of your wedding theme for matching look. Bring out the balloons, streamers, and an array of perfectly arranged desserts like cupcakes, macarons, and eclairs for a drool-worthy set-up people would be jealous of.

Cafe
An alternative to the dessert table option would be holding your bridal shower at a cafe. Most cafes are accustomed to hosting private parties, so your bridal shower would be in good hands. Perfect for a small group, with an intimate and cosy setting for you and your friends to spend hours talking and relaxing over good food.
As more and more people hosting bridal showers nowadays, why not plan one with unconventional activities as a day of fun and relaxation with your closest friends, before you resume your bride-to-be duties with the craziness and hecticness of planning your big day. With a wide array of creative ideas available for you, don’t be afraid to look past the more conventional activities and dare to explore for a memorable day that you and your friends won’t forget.
