Bridal Showers

A bridal shower is a gift giving party for a bride a few weeks before her wedding usually organised by the bridesmaid or maid of honour. It is a time to pamper the bride and make her feel special. It is also a good opportunity for the bride to catch up with her girl friends and relatives just before her wedding.

Some bridal showers are pretty elaborate with complex themes and games and pretty bridal shower invitations being sent out to the invitees. Guests are usually women but nowadays men are included too.

I didn’t have a bridal shower because I eloped! Just kidding. Actually I think it would have been nice to have one but no one planned one for me and I couldn’t plan one myself because its considered rude for the bride’s family to plan or host one since it involves gift giving to the bride by the guests! Lol!
