How to host a Bridal Shower and Gift Ideas

Bridal Showers are is another tradition where a party is held for the bride to be and gifts given to her in anticipation for her wedding! Traditionally this took place to allow the bride to finance the wedding which has grown out of the early dowry practices.

I also think that it is a great excuse for the close family and friends of the bride to get together and talk everything wedding!!

It has become popular to theme the bridal shower party too. Some like to dress up and theme the food. I also like the idea of using it as an excuse as a cometic or lingerie party. That way the bride gets her lingerie and make up all ready for the wedding day! I also love the idea of a high tea where you can all be ladies:) Easy Wedding has some brilliant gift ideas listed here.

A few gift ideas that are given at the bridal shower:

I love this vintage bridal lingerie. It would make a great gift that would help toward the wedding.

I also love the idea of bridesmaids robes! They make a great gift for the whole party and they make for great photos at the end of the day!

Another great gift( if done in advance to the wedding is a wedding magazine subscription! There are loads of mags out there to choose from and what a great gift! You can probably get online versions for the iPad if your feeling generous!:)

The bridal shower is also a great opportunity for family to pass on items that want to be include in the wedding, such as rings, dresses something borrowed, something blue etc! Many mothers of brides contact us for garters in time for their bridal shower to give to their daughters as their gift:
