Secret Bride - 09 Shower
Original post by LegoBride
I wanted to ask everyone before I went any further....
I suggested to Mich that I would be more than happy to organize the secret bride part of the shower - meaning finding out where all the attendees are registered and then suppying each attendee with a bride to buy something for.
I remember how the 08 brides took care of this and I would be happy to run it the same way. As Mich receives the responses I will keep track of the registeries and secret brides.
Is everyone ok with that before I continue?
Also, I think we need to start discussing who would like to do what... I know the shower is a long ways away but we need to talk about a few things like:
1. How to get LIW invovled
2. Favors
3. Deocrations
4. Games
5. Etc![]()
How do you think we should go about figuring out who would like to do what?

I like presents... even though I'll be away during the shower I'd like to be part of Secret Bride... I'll send my gift with someone (Chris - this means you!) and pick up the one I get from her if that's okay.

Re: Secret Bride - 09 Shower
I love the Secret Bride idea!!!
Mich mentioned that there is a wishing well... maybe we can do a grab bag type thing for that... a little $3 gift or something?? We could draw #'s to see who gets to pick first, 2nd, etc. I don't know... just a suggestion!

thats a great idea...also, if there are girls that don't wish to participate in the grab bag/secret bride I would imagine they wouldnt have to. They could just not give and then not get right?
If someone said this already sorry for repeating it...i skimmed the thread!

Re: Secret Bride - 09 Shower
there is this game that we play at FH family house for Xmas. each person ( who wants to participate) picks number out of a hat and thats what order you pick gifts in. you pick your gift ( from wishing well) you open your gift and then you can decide if you want to keep it or trade (steal) it with someone else who already opened their gift. the person that gets num 1 gets to decide after the last person goes if they want to keep their gift or trade with anyone else. its alot of fun and i think it might be good and eciting to do with the wishing well...something different and alot less boring

Re: Secret Bride - 09 Shower
Thanks for taking that on. I'll be glad to give my input on all, but as I'm starting my new business June 1, I will be mostly able just to be a guest, but all of you who are more actively planning are awesome!!
I like both the registry or the grab bag idea, either is fine by me!

OMG! This brings me back to when my best friend in elementary school got soap on a rope in a grab bag... what kind of cruel joke is that?

Me to, but why not we do both. We can do the one main gift the secret bride thing and for the wishing well we can do the grab bag. Nothing big a small gift like a spatala, measuring cups stuff like that.
