Office Bridal Shower


An office bridal shower is a way for coworkers to celebrate with the future bride. Many of the same details are involved but on a less elaborate scale. A bridal shower planner, at work, takes on the job of organizing the event. This is often someone close to the "guest of honor", who offers to take care of things. A bridal shower planning checklist can be used to simplify things.

The first step to take, is to make sure a party is okay with the boss. Then pick a date and time.

• Who is invited?
If it is a small office or company, it is often best to invite everyone. A larger workplace can be narrowed down to close friends or a certain department, etc.

• Is a printed invitation necessary for an office bridal shower?
No, an e-mail or personally asking, is fine.

• Where does the party take place?
A small office often has it right in the space where they work. If there is a separate room where the party can be held, take advantage of it. Bridal showers can also be held at a local restaurant during lunch hour, or after work. If you choose this option, make a reservation in advance.

• How long should an office bridal shower be?
Keep it to an hour, or less, if it is held during the workday. After hours, is at your discretion.

• What about the food?
A bridal shower cake, alone, is acceptable. Many times a luncheon is planned. A buffet works well. Ask everyone to bring something. Assigning specific items, ahead of time, will help coordinate the menu. Cold cuts, rolls, and a fruit plate are all good choices. Does the bride-to-be have a favorite food... Italian, Chinese, Mexican? Keep this in mind, and surprise her with a special buffet meal, geared around that type of food. Sometimes, workers want to chip in for food and have it delivered. Choose a restaurant with that special food, and you're set.
*** Never serve alcohol at an office bridal shower.



• Should we have decorations?
Bridal shower decorations aren't mandatory, but they sure are fun.

An office bridal shower usually has simple decorations. Balloons, flowers, and streamers are popular, as they are easy to set up and take down. When planning a bridal shower, don't forget plates napkins, and utensils.

• How are gifts given?
Joint gifts are very popular at office bridal showers. The person who organizes the office bridal shower should make an effort to find out what is needed. Everyone chips in, and one or more gifts are purchased. A gift certificate may also be given.

• Are bridal shower favors given?
They aren't necessary, but everyone loves them. Sometimes there's a crafty person who will offer to make them. You can purchase them, if you want to, but don't feel obligated.


An office bridal shower is usually a simple affair.
