Last-Minute Wedding Shower Flubs and How to Fix Them

Katrin Leave a Comment

If you’re planning a wedding shower for a friend or family member, chances are you’ll run across a flub or two on the day of the shower. No need to fret! Here are some common last-minute wedding shower flubs and how to fix them.

No matter how hard wedding shower hosts try to stay organized and on top of things, they all run across last-minute wedding shower flubs at one point during the game. If you’re in the process of planning a wedding shower, you know that a lot of time, energy, and details go into putting the occasion together. No matter how large or small the event, last-minute wedding shower flubs are bound to happen and you’ll need to know how to handle them when they arise.

Familiarize yourself with some of the following last-minute wedding shower flubs and how to fix them:

Unexpected guests—Regardless of the precautions you take to make the guest information clear on the wedding shower invites, you might run into a situation where a guest brings an additional guest or one too many anyway. Usually this isn’t a big deal, but if you’ve carefully rationed food with the catering order or are short a favor and place setting, it can be uncomfortable for the uninvited guest. Solve this last-minute wedding shower flub by improvising. Don’t make the extra guest feel unwelcome. Discreetly arrange to divide food portions and come up with an alternative wedding favor. To avoid this all together, plan ahead and order a few additional plates and favors just to be safe.

Guests with no gift for the bride—Most wedding shower guests are aware they need to bring a gift for the bride-to-be, especially after receiving the invitation, which should specify the gift details. However, occasionally guests are unaware of basic wedding shower etiquette and assume they should only bring a gift to the actual wedding. Instead of making the guest uncomfortable, consider having an additional greeting card on hand. Slip it to them during the party and let them sign it for the bride. They will appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness.

Game flops—Sometimes interest in the games you choose fizzles out quickly. If your wedding shower games aren’t a hit, have music on hand and consider a small wine tasting station to encourage mingling. Setting up various “socializing stations” around the room will help balance out the lack of game activity and will keep your wedding shower guests entertained.
