I am the MOH in my best friend's wedding this November and I am working with her mom to plan her bridal shower. However, neither her mom nor I have ever planned a shower before and we don't know where to start! Her mom has made it very clear that she wants to pay for the shower, but Who picks the invitations? Who addresses them? Who picks the favors? Who plans the game(s)? And what are the other things that I haven't thought of?
Thanks!!

Re: Bridal Shower Help!!
I just went through this for my SIL's shower, her wedding is in March.
I am a state away, but I helped pick the invites, i will do doing the games, i picked the favors, and my name/address was the RSVP, her mom will be doing the rest. Addressing envelopes, getting the place, coordinating her arrival, calling no RSVP people and doing table arrangements and centerpieces.
As MOH you also need to get her some lingerie, and her garter def! Also if she hasn't gotten her toasting flutes, cake knife and server could also be the MOH's responsibility.

Look at the 'Everything' series books - there is one for planning showers...I love those books! So helpful and they think of everything! I think that you should work closely with her mom to plan everything - invites, food, etc.

I am planning my MOHs shower too (I am her MOH ) with her mother... her mother made it clear that since I have a lot of my own expenses that she did not expect me to pay for anything... ashe chose the place (it is not in mt state) she chose the invites and the favors... but put me in charge of games, prizes and anything else I thought would be cute.

Maybe you can sit down with the mom and divide up the tasks. That way you will both be on the same page as to what needs to be done, and who will be responsible for what.

Re: Bridal Shower Help!!
Well, for mine my mom and my grandma picked the menu and paid for the food. My invites my MOH picked, made and paid for them. The decorations were selected by my other BMs and they paid for those things.
