How to Host a Pub Crawl Bridal Shower

As the Maid-of-Honor it is your sworn duty to provide the bride with a fantastic and fun bridal shower. A Pub Crawl Bridal Shower will provide everyone with a night full of fun and laughs as you make your way from bar to bar.

Things You'll Need

• Transportation
• Games
• Gifts
• List of places to go

Instructions

1. Arrange for transportation ahead of time. A good hostess makes sure that everyone arrives home safely. Get a limousine, hire a car or designate a driver that does not drink alcohol.

2. Make a list of where the party is going. Choose the bride-to-be's old stomping grounds to bring back a good dose of nostalgia. This also will keep you from spending half the night wandering around aimlessly trying to decide where to go.

3. Start at a restaurant. Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is a surefire way to get sick and have a nasty hangover the next day. Eat first, drink later.

4. Let the games begin. No bridal shower is complete without games right? Choose silly, embarrassing games like the one where the bride wears Life Savers pinned to her shirt or a candy necklace that people can bite off--for a fee, of course.

5. Plan to have the bride-to-be open gifts in the car between stops. Everyone can have a good laugh with her when she opens the risqué gifts. This also ensures that no gift is forgotten and left behind at the bar.

6. Keep an eye on the entire Bridal Party. The bride-to-be is, of course, the most important. You also want to be sure that everyone is having a good time.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose fun and lively bars so the party won't get boring or too subdued.

• Purchase a tiara or a fake veil for the bride-to-be to wear to draw more attention to her.

• Make sure you and the bridal party have enough money to pay for all the expenses.

• Don't drink too much. You don't want your guest of honor to have to take care of you when you should be taking care of her.

• Don't try to save money by not getting a limo or hiring a car service. Drinking and driving is unacceptable, against the law and dangerous.

• Stay away from any place that conjures up bad memories for the bride-to-be. Anywhere that reminds her of the guy that broke her heart years ago or a big fight she had with a best friend is off limits.
