Planning a bridal shower requires attention to detail, especially when selecting the perfect venue. The venue sets the tone for the entire event and can easily transform a shower into the time of your life. This article will cover everything you need to know to ensure the venue you choose is right for your shower.
Positive Reviews
According to 2Date4Love.com, about 24% of millennials in America will research venues before they get engaged. You should also conduct thorough research on a venue before booking it for a bridal shower. Pay attention to reviews online that mention things like cleanliness and the condition of the establishment. Check social media pages to see pictures of the venue to ensure it looks as beautiful in real life as it does on the website.
Location and Parking
Consider where your guests are traveling from for the shower. Pick a convenient location that is easy for everyone to reach if possible. The only exception is if the shower is a weekend-long event. It would help if you also double-checked parking. There should be ample parking for all guests so people don’t have to walk too far.
Guest Capacity
Ensure you have a guest list when searching for the ideal venue. The venue should have ample space to accommodate all the guests. You’ll also need plenty of space for different activities, such as games and a dining area. Venues that have additional space give you room to set up various zones inside, ensuring the shower moves seamlessly from one activity to another.
Scenery
When booking a venue, consider the ambiance you want at the event. For example, if you want a wholesome, quiet shower, you don’t want a venue next to a noisy bar. Instead, opt for a venue offering more serene scenery, such as a peaceful deck and luxurious lawns. The scenery should also provide a suitable backdrop for pictures of the event.
Customization
Some venues prefer that you don’t move things like tables and chairs. They also don’t allow decorations. However, many venues let you decorate as much as you want as long as you clean up the venue afterward. Ensure you ask about their decorations and other customization policies before booking.
