A sophisticated Party Supplies are a modern take on this pre-wedding tradition.

Here are 13 of the best brunch bridal shower tips and ideas to make your event a huge hit. 

Try a Historic Setting 

Consider hosting the bridal shower brunch in a heritage building or historic location. This move instantly adds style and class to the event. If a stately home or castle suits the bride-to-be's taste, book a room there.

Match the Venue to the Wedding Theme 

“Definitely find a venue with enough space and great lighting,” says Skaggs. “It should flow with the overall theme of the wedding or be a section of your story.” 

Consider Hiring the Wedding Caterers 

“Start by working with vendors who have already been hired by the couple for the wedding,” says Skaggs. “This is a great opportunity for them to be creative and provide for the couple.

Opt for an Intimate, Private Space 

A secluded room can also add to the intimacy of an event, says Skaggs. This privacy allows guests to let loose and have a good time. 

Only Invite the Bride’s VIPs 

It's a VIP-only event! "Like your wedding, a brunch is a celebration that brings the people you love most," says Skaggs. "Because it's more relaxed and intimate, you get to soak it all in."

Ensure your Invitations are On-Brand

“Any invitation should reflect the tone and impact of the event,” says Skaggs. “If your event is going to be grand and luxe, the invitations should be too. This allows guests to plan accordingly.” 

Consider Getting an Entertainer 

In addition to games, Skaggs suggests having comedians, performers, or instructors teach some sort of activity.

You should consider the bride-to-be's personality and taste before hiring an entertainer. What kind of entertainment would she enjoy? 

Create a DIY Mimosa Bar 

If you are planning a modern-style bridal shower, you can create your own mimosa bar to 'wow' your guests instantly. Start with some decorations, fresh orange juice jugs, fresh fruit for garnish, and then get a cooler for the bottles of fizz. 

Host an Afternoon Tea Party

Make sure you have mini sandwiches on hand alongside teapots filled with whatever drink you prefer for the afternoon tea party theme. (Hint: it doesn't have to be tea!)

Have the Guests Decorate Desserts 

Have your guests decorate their desserts during the bridal shower brunch for a fun activity. Each guest receives a treat, such as a cake-pop or cupcake, and is challenged to make it a show-stopper.

Try a Quirky Food Presentation 

“Presentation is extremely important,” says Skaggs. If there are fewer guests than at a wedding, singular items like takeout boxes, walls, etc. are easy to produce. Showcasing the menu in a unique way will make it extra memorable.

Put a Twist on the Classic Menu 

What about menu ideas? Why not consider something truly wild? “Twists on traditional favorites, like Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles or peanut butter and jelly cocktails,” suggests Skaggs.
