History of the Bridal Shower

Bridal Shower's are a fun occasion where the bride's friends and family give her gifts before her wedding is approaching. The custom of the bridal shower began in the United States and is still practiced mostly in US and Canada. The Bridal Shower is customarily arranged by the bridesmaid, who usually organizes the entire event. Due to finances these days, it is not uncommon for several guests to split the costs/duty of hosting the bridal shower. This timeless tradition began in the times when dowry was practiced as a custom. This custom was brought into practice to help the women who were poor and did not have the money to raise dowry or in situations when the father of the bride was not approving of the marriage.

These days, the bridal shower has evolved into a fun party that incorporates food, games, decorations and laughter.
