Sometimes it seems as though surprise parties are impossible these days with Blackberries, email and text messaging all posing as a spoiler. The perfect surprise party is possible though. If you wish to throw a surprise Bridal shower there are a few things to keep in mind and which will help to make it the best surprise shower possible.

The First Step

First things first you are going to need to make up the guest list. You really cannot go any further before this has been done because you are going to need to find out who is willing to come, what days are good for everyone, how far they are going to be able to travel and so on.

Make up a guest list of the bride-to-be's best friends and closest family members, the number of people that you invite is really up to you and how many people you think they would like to have come.

Picking the Perfect Date

The next step in planning the perfect surprise bridal shower is actually the setting of the date. This can be as tricky affair, because not just have you got to get everyone else there more anything you are going to have to make sure that the bride herself is going to be able to make it , without letting her know what you are up to.

Speaking to the fianc to see if you can gain his assistance in the setting of the day, and if possible try to get a hold of her day planer/date book, without being overly nosy, you can check to see what dates she has free.

Keeping The Bride In The Dark

For the duration of the planning and preparing stages of the surprise Bridal shower you are going to need to make sure that the soon to be bride is kept blissfully in the dark and busy.

While trying not to make it too obvious what you are up too try to keep her occupied and out of the way, you should come up with some emergency (eg. Shoes for flower girls) to keep her occupied while you and the other girls are busy working away to make sure that her bridal shower is just right.

Keep Everyone Quiet

Bridal showers can be very exciting, especially a Bridal shower surprise, but you have to make sure that everyone keeps quiet.

The more people each person tells about the surprise party the more likely that it is going to leak out and the guest of honor will find out about the surprise, so make sure that all of the invited guests are tight lipped and keep it on a need to know basis.
