A Bridal Shower is about having time with friends and family before she moves from her single life to her married life. Apart from the hen party (bachelorette party) this is the last time she mingles with them as a single woman. Usually that is more appreciated by the friends than the Bride.
A Bridal Shower is about having time with friends and family before she moves from her single life to her married life. Apart from the hen party (bachelorette party) this is the last time she mingles with them as a single woman. Usually that is more appreciated by the friends than the Bride. Quite often there is not a lot of thought that goes into a Bridal shower, it goes along and things happen as they happen. It is a hard time for the Bride though as quite often there is an uncomfortable mix of family and friends, with friends finding it funny to give gifts of shocking panties while the Bride's grandmother is watching. The gifts are a weird mix of gags, risque and practical such as a set of glassware! This happens because the Bride has not sat down with the organizer and set a few ground rules for the event. But if it is the Maid of Honor organizing the party then the Bride should feel able to give her input. Obviously there should be fun and laughter but it is also an opportunity to help out the Bride in her new life, with finances being tight these days couples may have specific things they need. More families are coming together for events like these and so the Bride should sit with the Maid of Humor, make it clear Grandma is going to be there, and maybe suggest some gift ideas, and give some information the Maid of Honor can pass along to the invitees. When the Bride meets with the Maid of Honor ask for her to pass on things like family friendly gifts only and remind those extroverted friends that family and children may be attending also. In reality some Brides do not wear these items for their husband anyway, either because it is too risque, not to their taste or very commonly it doesn't even fit! The wedding gift register can be a guide for Bridal shower gifts and the Maid of Honor can remind guests about that. Though you cannot be so direct for the actual wedding it is not impolite of the Maid of Honor to direct guests for the shower. If the Bride has indicated no children then this is also the Maid of Honor's duty to make sure all know, as a lot of people may want to be able to kick back some but children and babies around prohibit that.
