The document discusses several key aspects of planning a bridal shower: 1. Planning responsibilities may be shared between the maid of honor and bridesmaids as a team effort. 2. Choosing the date is important - it should not conflict with holidays and allow enough notice for guests. Often showers are held 1-3 months before the wedding. 3. Invitations should include details on gifts and be sent 6-8 weeks before the event. E-cards save time but personalized invites offer more charm.
