Bridal Shower Planning Made Easy in Minnesota

Your wedding journey is full of joyful milestones—and one of the sweetest is your bridal shower. About two to three months before the big day, your closest friends and family gather to celebrate you with laughter, thoughtful gifts, and plenty of love. It’s a day you’ll remember forever.

But here’s the truth: bridal showers take more planning than most people realize. From booking a venue to coordinating food, decorations, games, and prizes—it’s a lot for a maid of honor or bridesmaid to manage alone. That’s where we step in.

At Meaningful Experience Weddings & Design, we take the stress out of bridal shower planning so you and your loved ones can focus on what matters: celebrating.

Who Hosts the Bridal Shower?

Traditionally, the maid of honor and bridesmaids host the bridal shower. However, it’s becoming increasingly common for the bride’s mother or future mother-in-law to co-host alongside them. Whoever takes on the role, one thing remains true: planning a shower is a labor of love—and a big undertaking.

We partner with the host(s) to bring the bride’s vision to life, making sure no one feels overwhelmed with responsibilities.

What Goes Into a Bridal Shower?

A bridal shower is more than just a gathering. It’s an experience that brings friends and family together in a way that feels warm, thoughtful, and memorable.

A typical bridal shower includes:

• The Venue – a cozy brunch spot, backyard garden, tea room, or rented hall

• Decorations – signage, florals, tablescapes, and a cohesive theme

• Food & Beverages – anything from brunch spreads to dessert tables

• Games & Activities – personalized, engaging, and fun for all ages

• Prizes & Favors – little keepsakes that make guests feel special

• Music & Flow – transitions that keep the energy light and seamless

On average, bridal showers cost about $50–$150 per guest, which typically covers the venue, food and drinks, décor, signage, games, and prizes. While that number may feel surprising, it’s helpful to remember that a shower is a curated event—an intimate celebration that requires both thoughtful planning and careful execution.
