If you’re really up for a challenge, you can ask your guests in the bridal shower invitation to bring a recipe card with their favorite recipe handwritten. At the beginning of the shower, put all of the recipes in a box, pick one at random, and have a bridesmaid or someone assigned to head to the store to pick up the ingredients for everyone to make during the shower.
