Bridal shower
== Bridal Shower ==
A bridal shower is a pre-wedding celebration in honor of the bride-to-be, during which guests "shower" her with gifts. It is typically organized by the maid of honor, close friends, or family members of the bride. The event is an opportunity for the bride to spend time with her loved ones and receive items that will help her start her new life with her spouse.
History
The tradition of bridal showers originated in the United States during the late 19th century. It evolved from earlier customs of providing a dowry for the bride. When a woman did not have a dowry, her friends and family would gather to give her gifts to help her set up her new home. Over time, this practice became a more social and celebratory event.
Planning a Bridal Shower
Planning a bridal shower involves several key steps:
Guest List
The guest list typically includes close friends and family members of the bride. It is important to consult with the bride to ensure that no one important is left out.
Invitations
Invitations should be sent out several weeks in advance. They can be traditional paper invitations or digital ones, depending on the preference of the host and the bride.
Venue
The venue can vary from someone's home to a rented hall or a restaurant. The choice of venue often depends on the number of guests and the type of activities planned.
Theme
Many bridal showers have a theme, which can range from a simple color scheme to more elaborate concepts like a tea party, garden party, or beach party.
Activities
Common activities at a bridal shower include games, gift opening, and sometimes even a meal or light refreshments. Popular games include trivia about the bride and groom, word scrambles, and bingo.
Gifts
Guests typically bring gifts for the bride, which can range from household items to personal gifts. Some bridal showers have a gift registry to help guests choose appropriate items.
