A Bridal Shower is an excellent, fun filled way to celebrate with the bride-to-be. The Bridal Shower gets its name from the fact that the bride is "Showered" with gifts.
Commonly the Maid Of Honor hosts the Bridal Shower. If it is an informal or casual shower, the Maid Of Honor or host pays all the costs. However, for large or formal showers the Maid Of Honor may ask the Bridesmaids to split the costs. Usually all the Bridesmaids will help her with decorating, set up, clean up, and planning of the shower.
The Bridal Shower venue can be at a home, beach, restaurant, park, garden, spa and other locations.
Bridal Showers may be held anywhere from 6 months before or the week of the wedding. Having the shower closer to the wedding day will allow more out of town guests to attend. The most common day for a Bridal Shower to be held was Sunday in the afternoon. Today Bridal Showers are held any day, at any time (day or night).
When inviting guests to the Bridal Shower it is best to ask the Bride for a guest list. If the Bridal Shower is a surprise ask her mother, or fiance. This will ensure you are not inviting anyone who will not be invited to the wedding. Do not forget to invite close female relatives of the Bride and Groom, along with all the women in the wedding party.
Most of the Bridal Shower celebration will be spent eating, telling stories, laughing, playing games and opening presents. A nice help to the Bride would be appointing someone to write down the gifts and the gift givers names. This will make thank you notes much easier to write.
