It is a good idea to hold It only a day or two before the wedding day so the greatest number of guests can attend. Select the relative or friend who will host the event. Contact florist to finalize times and delivery places of the flowers. Arrange to have a display area if your gifts are to be displayed. Arrange for a neighbour or friend who is not attending the wedding to be at your home the whole time you are away for the wedding and reception.
Unattended homes containing wedding gifts are easy targets for thieves.
Arrange a floater policy to your household insurance covering the shower and wedding gifts. The Bride has her hair styled and make up applied as she plans for the wedding. This will help avoid unhappy surprises as to the appearance of the style and time required on the wedding day. Be sure to have your headpiece with you Go over final details with all professional services you have engaged - include cake maker, reception contact person, musicians, limousine, florist, jeweler etc. Plan the details of your Receiving Line.
