The Bridal Shower Planner

The Gathurr Bridal Shower Planner brings the same calm, organized, beautifully designed approach to the celebration before the wedding. This editable Canva bridal shower planning template helps the host — maid of honour, mother, or the bride herself — plan a bridal shower that feels intentional and effortless, from the guest list and budget to the timeline, menu, games, and the little details guests remember.

A bridal shower is a wedding in miniature: a guest list, a venue, a theme, a menu, favours, a schedule, and a host quietly holding it all together. This bridal shower checklist and planner gives that host a structure to lean on, so the day comes together without the late-night spreadsheets and last-minute scrambling — and the bride gets a celebration that feels as considered as the wedding itself.

What's inside your bridal shower planner

• Planning timeline and checklist — what to do and when, from first idea to day-of, so nothing is left to the last minute.
• Guest list and RSVP tracker — invitees, responses, and final count in one place.
• Budget worksheet — keep the shower spend clear and shared among hosts.
• Theme and decor planner — colours, florals, tablescape, and the visual direction that ties the day together.
• Menu and favours planning — food, drinks, cake, and parting gifts, organized and accounted for.
• Day-of timeline and games — a simple run of show so the afternoon flows from arrivals to gifts to goodbyes.

Why hosts love it

It takes the pressure off the person who loves the bride most. Instead of inventing a plan from scratch, the host gets a calm, complete framework that matches the polish of the wider Gathurr planning system — so the shower feels like a beautiful, deliberate part of the whole wedding story, not a separate scramble.
