How to Throw a Surprise Wedding Shower

The problem with trying to have a surprise wedding shower is that the bride and groom are expecting a shower and you have to be very sly in order to make it a surprise. The following will give you some ideas on how you can pull off a surprise wedding shower.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Invitations
• Guests
• Decorations
• Bride and groom

1. Select a date. Try to find a time when they will least expect a surprise. If there is a family birthday or an anniversary to celebrate you can select that day and tell the couple that they are expected for the birthday or anniversary party.
2. Send invitations. Make sure everyone knows it is a surprise wedding shower, and that the bride and groom think it is a birthday or anniversary party for someone else. That way, if they are talking to the bride or groom they can mention the party without giving away the surprise of the wedding shower.
3. Involve the bride and groom in the planning of the party. Of course they will be planning the birthday or anniversary party, not realizing they are planning their own party. If they have mutual friends with the birthday person, this works for getting addresses that you may not be able to get otherwise.
4. Coordinate with the person hosting the party to make sure the bride and groom do not arrive too soon. However, you won't have to worry about them meeting others coming to the party because they will expect to see the people who are coming to the birthday or anniversary party.
5. Get ready to yell surprise and make sure you have the cameras ready. They are going to come in and expect to see decorations for a birthday or anniversary party, not a weeding shower. If you can capture their surprise when they realize the party is for them, it will be priceless for years to come.
