An office bridal shower is a way for coworkers to celebrate with the future bride. Many of the planning details involved, are the same, 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 planning checklist can be used to simplify things.

The first step to take, is making sure a party is okay with the boss. Then pick a date and time.
• Who is invited?
If it is a small workplace, it is usually best to invite everyone. A larger company can be narrowed down to close friends or a certain department, etc.
• Is a printed invitation necessary?
No, an e-mail or personally asking, is fine.
• Where is the party held?
A small group of employess often have 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.

Italian, Chinese, Mexican? Keep this in mind, and surprise her with a special buffet meal, geared around that type of food.

Balloons, flowers, and streamers are popular, as they are easy to set up and take down. When planning, don't forget plates, napkins, and utensils.• How are gifts given?
Joint gifts are very popular at these events. The person who organizes the party 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 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.
