Unique Bridal Shower Location Ideas

The bridal shower location is one of your first planning decisions. Where to have it, is usually answered by some basic questions. You must decide:

? How many guests will be attending?
Small groups generally have more choices, but many showers need to accomodate a large number.

? What season is it?
The time of year will affect your area. Is it usually rainy, too hot, too cold? It may be great to have it outside. Take your weather into consideration.

? What type of food will there be... appetizers, sit-down meal, buffet, dessert only, etc.?
What you want to serve, often influences the location.

? What will the budget allow?
Don't spend on a place you, or others, can't afford. You'll all be stressed, and it will show.

Based on the above, the following are some options:

Large crowds
? Beach area
? Country club
