Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Been awhile since I've wanted to post this! But you know the idea... the mood.... is yet not knock knock. But no more, the mood duspppp come suddenly. So here it is! (Disclaimer note : Post maybe in English and please pardon for my grammar and vocabs!)
I didn't expect this amazing bridal shower to come, but sure seriously, this really really really (emphasize enough) lighten my mood up. And actually this should be posted by my friend (who planned for all this for months!) but hahaha I'm excited to post this up :P
So... here's some ideas for throw a not so simple but gorgeous for your bride-to-be friend!
1. First of all , concept.
Find a concept that you like or maybe your bride-to-be friend like. As for me, this is bonus because it happened that me and my friends have the same favourite concept! (Sweety Picnic on a green grass!)
Ooh... isn't this lovely!
2. Secondly , venue.
Once the concept has been decided, find a venue that suit your concept!
Garden-like!
3. Thirdly, decide the theme colour.
Choose a team colour that really suit the concept and all the guest, include yourself! And.. don't forget to match well with venues. For this concept, i think the not so contrast but harmony theme colour really match well.
Pastel kind of colours theme :D
4. Next, date and time.
How long the event will be. When? Weekend? Will the bride-to-be free on that day? --- Make sure the bride-to-be has no prior planned schedule or else, you are the one the will be surprised! Hahaha
5. The next step will be invitation card!
Decide how much the guests will be, prior to the budget and venue. Regarding the invitation card, my friend design it really well and there even a space for wishes on the back of the invitation card!
The design.... are so beautiful! And all the wishes, really make me touched.
6. What else. Oh, how can i missed this! FOOOOOOOD.
Regarding the food, they've ordered my favouriteeeeeeee cake which is Red Velvet with creamcheese! Oh how can I jumped straightly to dessert. LOL see how excited I am!
- For appetizers, they have actually give me chewing gum (as a punishment for wrong answered questions. To be discussed later!)
- Main dish is fried chicken! Nyummmyy, i dont know why but I love to pronounce is as chickieyn chickieyn chickieyn when I'm excited. (Unpaid uninteresting advertisement Kbye)
- As for the desert I've told before, RED VELVET CAKE.
- A cold carbonated drink (which have been freezed night before).
You can see how happy I am especially when there is that full round of cake in front of me!
No I'm not sad. But where is the cake?
And the motherly cakey smile is back
No, not when can I eat this cake kindof pose. Okay enough evidence.
7. Do not missed this important checklist, deco!
What else can I say about the deco as you can see from those pictures (Clap clap to my friends)
Personally I think balloons are important points in the party decorations.
The setting. Chocolates, buckets, boxes, party appl. , the bride-to-be veil and crown , the guest's flowercrowns etc.
Cold Carbonated drinks and beautiful bucket and flowers and mineral water etc.
Flowercrown xoxo
Cute crown and veil!
8. You may skipped this point , photographer. But actually it is pretty much important for me.
Photographer is among us, changeable, not a fixed hired photographer hehe. Or can asked peoples nearby to help capture the moment!
But if you have extra budget or choices, you may hired talented photographer to click click captured the moments. If the event is all-girls event, i highly suggest and prefer to hire woman photographer. Hehe, plus more comfortable and free to do the games. But that's my personal preference hihi.

Guess who's the photographer for this photo!
And this photo!
9. The activity!
This is important to increase the happening vibe of the event.
As for my bridal shower they have prepared a "Do you know some things about him" quiz. Question like example what is his favourite movie genre or his shoe size etc. What more surprizing is the answer is a recorded video by the groom-to-be itself! And the punishment is.... chewing gum! (I thought it would be sooo mint but actually it's pretty yummy!)
Some of the questions
And another question
Answer by the groom-to-be
Another activity was wear that blindfold and catch me if you can! Within few minutes. Must find those 7 girls who did not give me chance by not making noise huwaaa~
Because I missed one person... so the punishment is sing (?). How.can.I.confidently.sing.at.that.moment.hahaha I'm just too happy I guess. And my friend is soooo helping, by taking selcas with happy face. Thank you for not weirdly staring at me! Hahaha
Highlight of the event is.... A video message from my family!
Touched.... as they involved my family in this memorable event too.....
10. Guestbook.
No there's no guestbook as they've leave their wish on back of the invitation card. Instead :
The new way of I'm attending this event!
11. Ding Dong! Extra point on ideas for photos :D
With the balloons!
Selca by the bride-to-be
Selca lead by pro kekeke :P

All and all, I really enjoy my day and my bridal shower. Thank you girls, blessed that I've met and know you all. For all the efforts, energy, money, ideas and lots more unscripted things that you've all done, thank you so much!
Again, with the red velvet cake. Ehehe.
I hope this may give you some ideas on steps or checklist to plan your friend's bridal shower. Few events to make she feel like a princess as a single. And for practice smileee for the big event hihihi. But most importantly, pray for your friend's journey to be smooth sailing and until jannah amiin. Pray for me too! May this journey drive us until jannah amiin. All the best and take care all! Assalamualaikum :D
