Bridal Shower For Your Wedding

The tradition of bridal shower comes from a story

. In Holland, a bride denied the bridal dowry because the groom's lowly miller status. So the miller's friends gathered to "shower" the bride with items that she needed to make a new home and enter into marriage. Finally, the custom stays till today. It becomes an opportunity for the bride's female friends and relatives to "shower" her with items she'll need to make a new home and enter into a marriage. In westerns customs, the bride will send a list to her friends about what items she wants to have for her wedding. On the bridal shower, they come with these presents.

About what time the activity will be held? Usually, it takes place a few weeks or months before the wedding. The time must be convenient for all the people to attend. If most of the guests are not in local, the bridal shower and hen night can be combined over the same time. Since the bridal shower is something like a friend gathering, it will be free and leisure. So the location needn't to be very formal. Home, tea room, garden, park, backyard or restaurants are all working. Remember to reserve places earlier. According to traditional etiquette, the bride can prepare with assists from her bridesmaids or close friends. Close family members can't host this activity. But with social changes, close family member are allowed to help. The guests include the bride's family members, bridesmaid, female friends and the groom's close female relatives. The only rule of inviting guests is that everyone invited to the bridal shower must also be invited to the wedding ceremony.

What to do in the bridal shower is the most cared problem. The theme of a bridal shower is gift giving. The bride will open the gifts surrounded by the guests. Then after the bridal shower, she needs to write thank-you notes. In order to avoid mistakes, a bridesmaid can be arranged to keep track of which guest gives which gifts. Shower games are necessary in this activity. If all the guests are familiar with each other, they won't be restrictive through chatting. But if not, games are an easy icebreaker to activate atmosphere. Besides, you can play music to promote people relax.

The bride should prepare good food for guests. She needs to confirm the number of guests to prepare enough food ahead of time.

Holding a wonderful bridal shower can show enough respect to the guests.
