Planning a Canberra Bridal Shower

A bridal shower is usually a daytime gathering with gifts, games and a long lunch or afternoon tea. Most hosts want somewhere pretty, private enough for games and easy for the bride's mother and grandmothers to reach.

Around the lake, the choice runs from glass-walled rooms on the water to a stone hall in a wine-district village.

Settings worth comparing:

  • Lakeside rooms at Parkes and Regatta Point suit a lunch with a view of the water, with fine dining from $85 per person.
  • A Yarralumla gallery and garden café suits a relaxed high tea, from $35 per person.
  • A Dickson hotel on Northbourne Avenue offers function rooms from $50 per person.
  • A rooftop terrace above a Queanbeyan hotel starts from $37 per person.
  • A stone hall in Gundaroo village suits a country-style lunch, with transport arranged for guests.

Ask whether the room is private, since gift-opening and games need some space. See venues and private dining rooms for more.

Making the afternoon flow

  • Allow time for arrivals and a welcome drink before games begin.
  • Gift-opening suits the middle of the event, before guests start leaving.
  • A set menu or grazing board keeps the host free from managing the kitchen.
  • Agree in advance whether the bride will speak, or whether the maid of honour leads.

Flowers, styling and keepsakes

  • Event florists can create centrepieces that suit the wedding colours; some florists take only wedding-related work.
  • Event stylists can bring a balloon arch or signage for photos.
  • Party decorations cover tableware and banners for a home shower.

Picking the season

  • Spring and autumn suit a garden or terrace lunch.
  • Winter suits an indoor room with heating, as mornings and evenings are frosty.
  • Summer suits an early afternoon start before the hottest part of the day.
