Choosing the perfect venue is the first and most important step in planning a bridal shower. Our golf club offers a stunning outdoor setting with views of the rolling greens and picturesque landscape. This provides a beautiful backdrop for photos and creates a relaxing atmosphere for the bride-to-be and her guests. Today, we highlight a few essential tasks for your bridal shower to-do list. Let’s dive in!
Consider the Guest List
When selecting a venue, it’s important to consider the guest list. Our golf club can accommodate small or large groups, making it a great option for any size bridal shower. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, our outdoor venue has the space to fit your needs. Furthermore, we offer various seating arrangements to ensure everyone is comfortable and the space feels personal and inviting.
Outdoor vs. Indoor
While indoor venues have their advantages, an outdoor venue offers a unique and memorable experience. Our golf club has a patio area and terrace that overlooks the tranquil waters. Being surrounded by nature and fresh air adds a special touch to the bridal shower. Outdoor venues also allow for more versatility in décor and set-up, giving you the freedom to transform the space to match the theme of your bridal shower.
Planning the Menu
The next step in planning an unforgettable outdoor bridal shower is choosing the menu. Our golf club offers delicious options that are sure to impress the guests and satisfy their taste buds. We pride ourselves on our culinary expertise and ability to provide a wide range of options to cater to different dietary needs, preferences, and tastes.
Brunch or Lunch?
When planning the menu, consider the time of day the bridal shower will take place. If it’s in the morning or early afternoon, a brunch menu would be a perfect fit. Our golf club offers a variety of brunch options, including quiche, fruit platters, and pastries. If the bridal shower is later in the day, a lunch menu with sandwiches, salads, and light appetizers would be ideal. Don’t forget to include refreshing beverages, such as mimosas and freshly squeezed juices, to complement the meal.
Don’t Forget Dessert
No bridal shower is complete without a delicious dessert! Our golf club has a variety of dessert options, and stations like gelato or cannoli’s. You can also opt for a sweet table with an assortment of desserts and treats for guests to choose from.
Adding Special Touches
To make the bridal shower even more unforgettable, consider adding some special touches to the outdoor venue. Our golf club has a beautiful patio that can be decorated with flowers or lights, creating a romantic and picturesque spot for photos. You can also add personalized touches, such as a custom banner or photo booth, to make the event even more unique and special. Personalized signs with fun quotes or the couple’s names can also enhance the décor and provide great photo opportunities.
Games and Activities
To keep the guests entertained, plan some fun games or activities. Our outdoor venue provides plenty of space for activities. You can also set up a DIY mimosa bar or have a flower arranging station for guests to create their own bouquets to take home. Consider hiring live entertainment, such as a musician or caricature artist, to add an extra element of fun to the festivities.
Party Favors
A special thoughtful way to thank guests for attending the bridal shower is by giving them party favors. Our golf club can provide space to include a table specialized for personalized favors, such as custom cookies or mini succulents, to give to guests as a reminder of the special day. Additionally, items like personalized hand sanitizers or engraved keychains can serve as practical and memorable gifts that guests will treasure.
Invitations and RSVPs
Once you have the venue, menu, and special touches planned, it’s time to send out invitations and collect RSVPs. When sending out bridal shower invitations, another important tip is to provide all the necessary details in a clear and concise manner. Ensure the invitation includes the date, time, location, and any unique instructions such as dress code or theme. Additionally, include registry information and directions or parking details if needed. Providing a contact number or email for questions can also be very helpful. Clear and complete information ensures that guests are well-informed and can prepare appropriately for the celebration.
Keeping Track of RSVPs
To make it easier to keep track of RSVPs, create a spreadsheet or use an online RSVP tool. Staying organized is key! Ensure you have an accurate headcount for the event. It’s also a good idea to set an RSVP deadline. Have someone follow up with guests who have not responded to ensure everyone who wishes to attend can be accommodated.
Finalizing Details
As the bridal shower approaches, make sure to finalize all details with our golf club. This includes confirming the guest count, menu selections, and any special requests or decoration requirements. You can also discuss any last-minute changes or adjustments to ensure the event runs smoothly. Don’t forget to go over the event timeline with the venue to ensure that everything from arrival to departure is accounted for.
The Day of the Bridal Shower
On the day of the bridal shower, schedule an early set-up with any décor vendors. Our golf club will handle the delicious menu and table set-up so you can relax and enjoy the event. Be sure to take lots of photos and make memories with the bride-to-be and her loved ones. Assign someone to take charge of gifts and ensure that they are safely stored and accounted for. Be sure to ask our staff for access to the bridal suite to keep all the gifts safe.
