What Is the Average Cost of a Bridal Shower?
Very much like the wedding itself, the average cost of a bridal shower varies widely depending on the theme and the vision of the shower venue, guest count, and food and drinks being served. It is also important to make sure that your bridal shower budget includes taxes and tips for any professional vendors you hire. A good rule of thumb is to think about what it costs in your area for a nice brunch, plus a little extra.
At the upper end of the scale, we recommend budgeting $100 per person for an event at a venue. This would cover more elaborate bridal shower, a brunch or luncheon, one or two drinks, cake, floral centerpieces, games and prizes. At the lower end of the scale, think of budgeting $40 per person for an at-home event with light refreshments provided by a caterer. This would also cover drinks and light appetizers, simple decorations, games, and prizes. you could be talking $40 to $150 or more per person. Even a small, elaborate bridal shower (think fifteen guests) could cost between $600 and $2,250
Maid of Honor or Wedding Party
If the wedding party includes a maid of honor, she is usually the one to kickstart the conversation about planning the bridal shower (including the bridal shower costs). The maid of honor should initiate the process by first checking with the bride or couple to see what their preferences are. Next, they should reach out to the bride's mother or close family to understand those expectations, followed by the wedding party members.
How many people should be invited to a bridal shower?
A bridal shower should be an event for those closest to the bride, both in relationship and location. I am often asked how many guests should be invited to a shower, and I usually recommend keeping it to around twenty-five guests if possible. Everyone wants to see their gift opened and the reaction on the bride's face
