Bridal Shower Gift Table
The bridal shower gift table is often overlooked. It will usually be seen by all the guests, when the guest of honor opens her surprises. So, dress up this area. The following are some tips to think about.
• Place it in a convenient location. Not in the main flow of traffic, but easy enough to be seen.
• Make sure it's sturdy. Many items may be heavy.
• Have an area big enough to handle packages for the amount of guests invited. It's okay to have large items on the floor, but have room for smaller packages.
• Cover it with a cloth. This can be material or paper, preferably something that complements your colors and/or theme.
• Coordinate the bridal shower gift table
with the rest of your decorations.This automatically helps bring the look together.
• It is usually best to keep the top empty, until guests arrive. If you want to decorate it, trim around the sides. Silk swags, and tulle are some suggestions.
• If you don't like the idea of a solid color top, use a patterned cloth. Hanging balloons or a banner, above or behind it, may also help.
• Keep at least two chairs nearby, one for the bride as she opens the presents, and one for her helper.
• Think of the this space as being a part of the overall look you are trying to achieve.
• A trash bag/bags can be hidden under the table, for easy access when it comes time to open the gifts.
• Have a pen and paper ready for the hostess or whoever will record the gifts given.
