Your bridesmaids & Friends
If you have a bunch of friends, awesome. They can come through for your bridal shower with ideas and contributions. Where funds are limited, they can do the cooking instead of hiring a caterer, and the odds are that one of their houses will be great for a party so they won’t need to pay for a venue.
Nowadays, you can also help with ideas; after all it’s not really a surprise anymore. However, it’s best that you are not completely involved in the planning. The only reason why you should be partly involved is to air some of your deep desires for your shower. So, sit back and relax! Your friends are practically the genies in your bottle and you’re the one to be pampered!
Most brides now get a bridal shower. It’s like a send off party before you get married. But who is going to organize and pay for it? Let’s see.
The Maid of Honor
This is customary. In most occasions, the maid of honor is in charge of gathering all your ‘’yard people’’ together to plan the perfect bridal shower for you. This is definitely one of the reasons you should have your ‘’bestest’’ of friends to be your maid of honor. Why? Simply because she is the closest to you. It’s most likely she would know what you like and dislike. She determines how much money is needed and coordinates contributions from everyone else.

Sisters, Moms & Aunts
If you are fine with your mum organizing it for you, then this is just one of the options. You may have to do without some of the more crazy aspects of a bridal shower that your moms and aunts may find unsavoury. However, if you’re cool enough with it, mom is one of the best options simply because she has the best gifts! Otherwise, anyone who is awesome in your life can do this effortlessly.

Well-Wishers
Quite a lot of people would be willing to give out cash for a bridal shower. Usually, anyone who will be attending is involved to some extent in planning and in footing the bill. You can as well get money from relatives or other friends of the bride who would love to attend but would not be able to.
