Step One: The Guest List
Secretly borrow the telephone book of the bride to be and call all the names you feel you are familiar with as in she mentions often amongst her closest friends or as many names as you can accommodate in your house and in your budget.
Don't forget, not everyone that you plan to invite will be able to come. Studies have shown, that apart from close friends, co-workers and family members, only 30 per cent friends will show up. After all they have all played the bridal shower games many times before and there is monetary outlay involved (getting there and drinks). Everyone has so many social commitments already that assume less than half of the people you invite to actually show up.
