Bridal
shower guide
The
bridal shower is to let the bride
know how special she is. Also it is
to provide the couple with gifts that
will be of use for their new home.
The bridal shower is usually hosted
by the maid/matron -of-honour or a
close friend.
Guests
should include immediate family, close
relatives, members of the bridal party,
and close friends. Those invited to
a bridal shower must be invited to
the wedding.
The
shower is usually held a few weeks
before the big day.
The
party can be as formal or informal
as you wish.
The
party can be hosted at any venue but
is often held at the host's home.
Although
a gift is usually offered by the guest,
it should not be extravagant. The
big prezzies should be kept for the
big day.
Bridal
showers are traditionally meant for
the bride and all her female friends
and family, but today wedding showers,
or "Jack and Jill" showers,
bring together both the bride and
groom and their co-ed family and friends.
Bridal
showers can have an overall theme.
It can be as simple as the season
that the wedding is taken place in
or as daring as a lingerie theme.
At the end of the day it is down to
individual taste.
Shower
games allow the guests to mingle and
get to know one each other not to
mention the fun you will have.
