I threw my friends bridal shower. One word of advice, start work now. LOL. It was hectic. But I was very lucky, a lot of people pitched in.
Her shower also had about 15 people in attendence.
I actually recieved alot of support from her mom and stepmom. Her stepmom actually bought finger sandwiches from a deli (like albertson's or bashas or something) and brought them. Her mom brought a carrot cake.
I supplied the drinks and some finger foods (like chips and stuff).
Another bridesmaid decided to buy the balloons.
Some of the games we played were the following:
1) her mother wrapped up some things that had been bought for the bride (like a rolling pin, a measuring cup, stuff like that) and then they were numbered and passed around. People then tried to guess what each item was. It was actually pretty humerous.
2) Pin the kiss on the man. I'm not kidding. I found this at a party store. I then replaced the face of the man on the game with the face of a famous actor that the bride loves (for her it was John Cusak). It was also pretty funny seeing where we managed to put the kisses.
3) the infamous toliet paper bride, but we didn't give a time limit. I was the dummy bride and I've never had so much toliet paper on me in my life. LOL.
4) a scrap book of the couples relationship. What I did was gathered all of my old magazines. I had the bride give me a account of how they met, where their first date was, where he proposed, etc...Anyways, I divided the people up into groups of two or three. Each group had a certain 'topic'. For example, one group had the proposal. Another had the wedding, another had the first date, again etc...
I bought a photo album (just one of the regular ones where you pull the plastic from the page and place the items on it). We had a blast cutting up the magazines and making the pictures. Then each group told the story of their 'topic' to the rest of the group.
5) Wasn't really a game but during the entire time one woman recorded everything the bride to be stated during the course of the shower and then at the end you read the list off saying 'this is what so and so will say on her wedding night'. It gives you a good laugh
Good luck.
