    How did you all find out about your bridal shower?

    Did they send you something or trick you or what?

    I'd love to hear your stories!

    My Main Shower, at least, isn't a surprise at all. I gave them the colors that I wanted to use and the theme. I also helped with picking the date :)

    I had stated I wanted nothing to do with a surprise shower. I HATE surprises (my ring wasnt a surprise nor are my x-mas gifts)

    So they told me the date. Ya im a spoiled brat!

    Mine isn't a surprise either but I wish I had input on the colors/theme.  But I should just be pleased that someone is throwing me a shower, right?

    @stephinPA: I really wanted to wear a certain dress, so it was important to me that the colors went along with the dress. Also, I originally wanted a Japanese inspired wedding, but FI has never been to Japan, so It made no sense. So, I knew that I wanted my shower to reflect this about me. Now I get a Cherry Blossom/Japanese themed shower with turquoise, like my dress.

    my shower wasn't a surprise at all. MOH and i had decided we were going to do a laid back shower at our house with close friends/family. FMIL found out and offered a few weeks later to throw me a huge one. i was the liasion between FMIL and MOH in the beginning, so i knew about it from the get-go. regardless, it was perfect, even tho it wasnt my wishes... and i'm thankful to have a FMIL who was kind enough to offer me a formal shower at a hall

    I will probably know about mine. I'm sure my MOH will keep some details a secret but I expect I'll know the basics.

    During one of our BM meetings i.e. a night at a wine bar : ) we discussed dates for the shower and bachelorette party...it was just a given and we wanted to make sure everyone could attend.

    I planned my sister's shower and sent her an invite =) I ran the theme I had in mind by her before hand to make sure that she was OK with it.She also knew the date well in advance b/c she had to request leave since she is in the Navy.

    On a side note: I included an insert that gave her lingerie size just in case guests wanted to give a more "personal" gift. I left that insert out of her invite so it was a surprise when all of the sexy panties and nighties were unwrapped...LOL. She LOVED it. She got a good mix of items from her wedding registry and lingerie so she was pretty pleased.

    Are showers usually a surprise?  I've been helping out with the planning of my shower, so I've known about it all along.
