The tradition of Bridal Showers
Bridal Showers are gift giving parties. The origin of Bridal showers were in Europe where poor families were helped to make a dowry for their daughters by friends and relatives who brought gifts to a bridal shower. The modern bridal shower has become a North American tradition.
The maid of honor gives a party where all female friends and relatives are invited to give gifts to the bride. Some bridal showers are held a week before the wedding and others about two days before the wedding to make it convenient for guests who are attending from far away. All who are invited for the wedding are generally invited for the bridal shower. Themed bridal showers have become the order of the day to make gift giving easy and to add a certain uniqueness to the party. Bridal showers are regarded as happy preludes to a wonderful wedding day.
