Free Printable Bridal Shower Checklist
9.7.2024
Feeling overwhelmed planning a Bridal Shower? I created this Bridal Shower Checklist to stay organized and keep you on your game. I had so much fun creating this printable for all you bride to be’s and bride squad! This Bridal Shower Checklist includes one of my signature illustrated girls designed in watercolor. You can pick your hair color and skin tone to create in the essence of the bride!
Along with the checklist I have made a few tips for you.
Three months out or earlier:
Decide who is hosting. Traditionally the Maid of Honor plans the Bridal Shower but it can be anyone else in the bridal party or any family members or friends.
Establish a budget. Planning a bridal shower can add up quickly with all the food, drinks, decor and extras. Having a budget you can refer to throughout the planning process will help.
Pick a theme. My favorite part! The theme will bring everything together to create an atmosphere. From Breakfast at Tiffany’s to a Boho theme. Find a theme that compliments the bride based on her interest and hobbies.
Set a date and choose a venue. Setting a date can get a little tricky. Ask the guest of honor her schedule and check with the VIP’s.
Create the Guest List. A Guest list includes the Bridal Party, close friends and family. Depending on the size of the venue. And note for etiquette that whoever is invited to the Bridal Shower is also invited to the wedding.
Order your invitations. Try to give your guest as much notice. Make sure to include the theme if there is one, registries, RSVP’s and other details. I have tons of fun designs to go with all kinds of themes and really capture the bride-to-be with hair color and skin tone. I have several I can design and print for you, check them out here. Or you can edit and print your own with all these fun templates here.
Start looking for vendors for your Bridal Shower.
Two Months Out:
Compile a list of addresses.
Mail out invitations. If you chose one of mine I would love to see! Tag me @laceeswan on Instagram!
Make a details to-do list and assign tasks. Decide who is responsible for obtaining what supplies, setting up, organizing games, recording gifts, putting together favors etc.
Pick a menu and book catering.
One Month Out:
Finalize decor, games, activities, etc. Who doesn’t love a brainstorm session of all the possibilities. Get the gang together and finalize the signage, table decor, flowers, menu, drinks, activities, games and prizes. I have some fun Bridal Shower Games here the you can customize yourself!
Party favors.
Create a Playlist: Music will add those special vibes to the Bridal Shower!
Buy your shower gift. Yes the planner has to get one too! Pick something from the Bride-to-be’s registry or something personal to your friendship with the bride.

Gather Decorations. Time to start purchasing all the Bridal Shower necessities! Check out these awesome signage for the bride here. Even ones you can have all the guest sign!!

The Week of the Shower:

Get Creative This Christmas: Printable Christmas Village for Kids!
12.21.2023
My favorite memories at Grandma’s place was this little dresser drawer full of paper treasures one including a paper village. Every time I would visit I would pull it out and spend hours and hours playing with and my imagination would fly. I created this fun Printable Christmas Village with that memory as my inspiration to bring joy to many girls. As well as spark those little imaginations! I imagined a little town square filled with all the places I would love to shop at during the holidays…a toy shop of course. And stationery store, craft store and all the lovely places I like to spend the Holidays like cafe’s, candy shops and bakeries! I hand-painted them all in my watercolor signature style and turned them into these adorable cut-outs! 10 pages full with little shops and gals carrying presents and Christmas tress and all the lovely festivies of things.
I have a plethora ideas that this village could be used for. A simple fun craft for your little gem to do with scissor skills and imagination play. Have her print it out for her slumber party or craft party! It could be used on her bedroom dresser or in the living room mantle. It could be used for the kids dinner table as display but also play. And it’s not just for kids it could be great display for your little apartment. It’s even the perfect addition to a charcuterie board at your girls’ night in! The ideas are endless!
