Guide

How to use a bridal shower planner

A bridal shower planner is usually kept by the maid of honour or whoever is hosting, often with several people chipping in. Its main job is to keep everyone working from the same guest list, budget and timeline, and to record gifts so the bride's thank-you notes are simple.
  1. Check the guest list with the bride

    Shower guests are usually also wedding guests, so ask the bride (or her family) for the list before anything else. Write it on the guest pages with RSVP and dietary columns.

  2. Set a shared budget

    If bridesmaids are splitting costs, agree a total up front and write it on the overview. Track each item on the party budget with a note of who paid.

  3. Plan the shower and the bachelorette separately

    Use one party budget and one set of guest pages for each event. The bachelorette often has fewer guests and more travel costs.

  4. Choose a theme and plan around it

    The overview has fields for theme and colours, and the decor page covers decorations, tableware, games and favours. Paste inspiration onto the ideas pages.

  5. Give someone the gift list job

    During the shower, one guest writes each gift and who it's from on the gift page. Hand the page to the bride at the end.

  6. Share the day-of timeline

    List set-up, arrivals, games, food, gifts and clean-up with times and names, and send it to everyone helping.

What to include in a bridal shower planner

A bridal shower planner needs party pages for the host and wedding pages for the bride. This one includes:

Calendar

Weekly and monthly pages

Three months of dated calendars from this month, with a weekly page for each week's jobs. No daily pages, so it's short enough to print and share with the bridal party.

Party

Party & Events

An event overview, a countdown checklist, two party budgets, three guest and RSVP pages, menu, shopping and decor lists, vendors, a day-of timeline, a photo shot list and a gift and thank-you tracker.

Digital vs printable bridal shower planner

A digital bridal shower planner suits a group: send the PDF to the bridesmaids, and everyone sees the same guest list and budget. Paste screenshots of decor, dresses or venues onto the ideas pages.

A printable bridal shower planner is useful on the day. Print the day-of timeline for helpers and the gift page for whoever is recording gifts, and keep the guest list by the door.

An example week in a bridal shower planner

One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

Questions

Bridal shower planner questions

Does it work for a bachelorette or hen party?

Yes. The party pages don't assume a type of event: write bachelorette in the occasion field and use the budget, guest and timeline pages the same way. There are two party budget pages and three guest pages, so one planner can cover the shower and the bachelorette.

Why are there wedding pages in it?

The wedding checklist, wedding budget, guest list, vendors and day-of timeline pages help if the bride is using the planner, or if the host is also helping with the wedding. Switch the Wedding section off in the builder if you only need the shower pages.

Is there a free bridal shower planner?

You can build this bridal shower planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.

Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?

Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.

Can I print the bridal shower planner?

Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the bridal shower planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.

When does the bridal shower planner start, and how long is it?

It starts in the current month and runs for 3 months by default, which suits most event planning. In the builder you can choose any start month and year and a length of 3, 6, 12 or 18 months, so an event you're planning a year ahead fits too. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself.

Does the AI fill in the bridal shower planner for me?

Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.

How many pages is the bridal shower planner?

With the default settings it comes to about 82 pages. That includes 3 month pages, 14 weekly pages, the Party & Events, Wedding and Budget pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off daily pages or sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.

Make it yours in about a minute.

Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
