Bridal Shower Planning Checklist

Planning a bridal shower is one of the most exciting parts of a bride’s pre-wedding journey. It’s a day filled with love, laughter, and memories — and like any event, it requires the right planning to make it truly special. Whether you’re a maid of honor, sister, or best friend of the bride, this bridal shower planning checklist will walk you through everything you need for a stress-free and stunning celebration.

At MG Events, we’ve planned countless bridal showers across Karachi — from intimate garden gatherings to full-themed indoor setups — and we know exactly what goes into pulling it off flawlessly.


✅ Step-by-Step Bridal Shower Planning Checklist


1. Set the Date (4–8 Weeks Before the Wedding)

Choose a date that works for the bride, close friends, and family. Most bridal showers happen 1 to 2 months before the wedding, but weekends tend to work best for guests.

Tip: Always confirm with the bride and key attendees before locking in a date.


2. Create a Guest List & Budget

The number of guests will influence everything — from the venue to the food. Coordinate with the bride to make sure no one important is missed.

Budget Categories to Plan For:

  • Venue or space rental

  • Food & drinks

  • Decor and florals

  • Activities and games

  • Invitations and favors


3. Choose a Theme or Style

Themes can guide everything from decor to cake design. Popular bridal shower themes in Karachi include:

  • Floral garden brunch

  • Pastel high tea

  • Boho chic

  • Rustic glam

  • All-white affair

  • Traditional desi with a modern twist

MG Events Tip: We help clients visualize their theme with mood boards and mock-ups — perfect for decision-making!


4. Pick a Venue

Depending on your budget, you can host the shower at home, in a private garden, a restaurant, or an event space. Look for a venue that matches your theme, is accessible to guests, and offers good lighting for photos.


5. Send Out Invitations

You can go digital or traditional. Send invites at least 3 weeks in advance and ask guests to RSVP.

Options:

  • WhatsApp e-invites

  • Printed cards

  • Email designs via Canva or Paperless Post


6. Plan the Decor

This is where the fun begins! Your decor sets the tone. Think:

  • Welcome signage

  • Balloon or floral backdrop

  • Bride-to-be chair

  • Table centerpieces

  • Photobooth corner

7. Organize Food & Drinks

You can go for:

  • A buffet

  • Finger foods/high tea

  • Catered meals

  • Dessert stations

Don’t forget a signature drink or mocktail named after the bride!


8. Plan Activities & Games

Keep guests entertained with interactive activities. Some favorites include:

  • Who Knows the Bride Best?

  • Bridal Bingo

  • Advice for the Bride

  • Ring Hunt Game

  • Photo props station

Bonus Idea: Leave out a guest book or advice jar for sweet memories.


9. Arrange Music & Entertainment

A good playlist creates the perfect vibe. You can also book:

  • A live acoustic performer

  • A host or MC

  • A slideshow of photos/videos of the bride


10. Prepare Favors & Thank You Notes

It’s thoughtful to thank guests with a small gift. Some ideas:

  • Scented candles

  • Mini perfumes

  • Custom cupcakes

  • Personalized tote bags


11. Finalize the Timeline

A smooth flow keeps guests engaged. Your bridal shower timeline could look like:

  • Guest arrival & welcome drinks

  • Games & activities

  • Cake cutting

  • Lunch/tea

  • Photoshoot

  • Thank you speech & gift distribution
