1. Invite her friends, your family, and her husband to be's family (girls only) 2. Yes send out nice invitations3. You have food, games if you like, and give presents.4. It should be at a house, more private and intimate that way.

1. The bride should give you a list of those she wants to invite. Keep in mind that anyone not invited to the wedding should not be sent an invitation to a shower2. Yes you should send some form of paper invitation to the guests you would like to invite. The formality depends on how formal you would like the shower to be. 3. Gifts will be given and food should be served. Any other games or such can be your choice. I have seen simple tea lunches where everyone just socializes and I have seen entertainment at some. It is your choice and what you can afford.4. You could have it at any restaurant private room, someone's house, a backyard, the options are open. It all depends on your budget.

Usually the bride gives the list, you dont wanna forget anyone, get it as soon as you can so if you decide on a suprise party she wont know when cuz you already have the list of people. You should send formal invitations, especially to relatives and if it is formal. Friends you maybe be able to get away with calling or emailing. Play games, ask questions about the couple, or you sister when she was little. Do fun stuff, bride bingo, dress up in a toilet paper wedding gown. You can have it at home, rent a church basaement or other place.

go off her list. us ally its only women.if she is having a lavish wedding then yes personalized formal invitations would be best. bridal showers are all about papering the bride do nails hair moisturizers eye brow waxes etc. it should be at a spa. or you could take the hole thing a diff rent direction and have all of the gust bring gifts and have a little get together at a cafe. or bar?

1. Ask the bride for a list of guest she'd like to have.2. Send invatations that make you think "fun" cause the point of the bridal shower is to enjoy the last moments of that women being single3. A bridal shower should be fun. For all the ones I've been to no males have been present but that s up to the bride. Search google for fun things to print out like bridal shower games or idea. A fun game is gettin a whole bunch of clothes pins and letting people have 1 at the begining and for everytime some1 says "wife" they get to take the other persons clothes pin. The winner at the end could get a prize like a nice candle or something. If no children are present, male strippers are a funny touch if you'd like4. Have the party at someones house. I think of Bridal showers just like a baby shower except focasing on a enganged women, rather then a pregnent women if that helps any
