The first thing I did when starting to plan this Bridal Shower was make a vision board. I gathered pictures from Pinterest of ideas that I had for themes, colors, and projects to be made. We had a planning meeting with my family, Londyn's family, and a few of her bridesmaids. I wanted to have a meeting to go over plans, ideas and visions to make the shower become a reality.
I also made up a document (that I will attach below) that I had printed out for each person attending the planning meeting, that way each detail was ironed out and no one was left guessing what they were in charge of. Seem like a bit much? Maybe, but I feel like this helped make the planning process so much easier!
Below I have pasted in the document that I created for the planning meeting, enjoy!
