Need Ideas for a bridal shower

looking for spots in the santa monica, culver city , westside area for a bridal shower...no idea where to start...

Re: Need Ideas for a bridal shower

  • how many?

    brunch / lunch?

    hotel vs restaurant?

  • all great questions... no idea!

    open to any ideas...the maid of honor emailed me.  I dont even know what we are budgeting from a cost perspective.

    im thinking a min of 20 (very likely alot more)

    open to ANY suggestions, brunch. lunch, tea, hotel, restaurant, ANYTHING!

    (if we did do a restauraunt - I think we are going to want a private room).

    ALSO - looking for oppinions on how to approach the subject of budget.

    Her sis is the maid of honor and then there is myself and one other bridesmaid.  Obviously I would presume that we will just split all costs.

    I just want to get an idea of what she is thinking - without sounding like im concerned about it....this is one of my closest childhood friends and im willing to throw in whatever is necessary with no reservations (within reason obviously) 

    I know the bride is a little concerned with the cost of everything.  She is already concerned that people are paying so much for the flight to maui (destination wedding) and the hotel. She is buying our bridesmaid dresses for us.

    I really want her to have a great shower!!

    Also dont know how to approach the idea of bridal shower and bachelorette party.  Should her sis just do it all and we help whereever needed or should the other bridesmaid and I take the bachelorret party and have her sis plan the shower?

    I feel like ive been out of the wedding game for awhile...

  • Jin Patisserie in Venice on Abbot Kinney is a cute place for a tea, if you have enough guests (over 20) you can book out the whole place.

    Restaurant that I think have private dining rooms that might work for a bridal shower:

    • Cafe Bizou Santa Monica (never been personally)
    • Maggiano's at the Grove - food is just okay (better than Buca), but the rooms are pretty nice
    • Ca'Brea - hosted a dinner bridal shower here myself; food is pretty good they have several prie fixe menus you can choose between, pricing is moderate.

    That's all I can think of for now... I'll let you know if I think of anything else!
