Greet Guests - serve light appetizers After all or almost all guests have arrived, go around the room and have each guest introduce themselves and identify how they know the bride. Play 2-4 Shower Games . It is good to play games at the beginning as ice-breakers. Let everyone go get whatever food may be available and then once everyone has been served, the bride can begin to open her gifts. Be sure to have someone write down each gift and who it is from.
People chat and usually leave a few at a time.
Make sure the bride gets to say goodbye to everyone and the hostess thanks the person for attending. If the hostess has shower favors, they should give this to the guest now.
