There are many events that take place before a wedding in the U.S. You may have heard of bachelor and bachelorette parties, but today, weโre going to take a look at bridal showers.

This is a party, usually hosted by friends of the bride, to celebrate the bride-to-be and give her advice and gifts. The maid of honor, a best friend, or perhaps even the brideโs mother is typically in charge of planning the event.

Since bridal showers are usually small, we generally invite the bridal party and perhaps a few other close friends. Itโs typically a women-only event. You should only invite people who were also invited to the wedding. Itโs also common to throw surprise bridal showers. However, if itโs not a surprise, the bride might have some ideas about what kind of bridal shower she wants.

Some bridal showers have themes like beach, tea party, or fiesta. Many are hosted at a friendโs house, but itโs also common to hold them at a restaurant or private event venue. They typically take place during the day, two to six months before the wedding. During the party, the hosts provide food, usually something light like finger foods or sandwiches, and drinks like champagne or mimosas. The group will play games together and do other activities, like making a wedding dress out of toilet paper.

Towards the end of the party, the bride opens the gifts the guests have brought. Some people opt to open the gifts later with their fiancรฉ. The gifts may be exclusively for the bride, but they are more often for the couple. Itโs common to give small appliances or other items the couple will use in their new home. Compared to a bachelorette party, a bridal shower is much more formal and relaxed. I hope this gives you a better idea of another common event related to American wedding culture.
