Saturday, May 8th, 2010Before the big wedding day, bridal shower party is held as another special event in the life of the bride-to-be. Relatives and close friends come to celebrate and give inspiration, pieces of advice and support to the future wife. Moreover, on this day, the soon-to-be wed woman gives in return wedding shower favors to her guests as a form of gratitude.
The celebration of a bridal shower is said to have originated from giving of dowry practices. During those times, when the family of the bride-to-be is poor and the parents cannot provide a dowry for their daughter, or when the father disapproves the marriage and does not provide a dowry, the friends of the bride-to-be would gather and provide gifts to make up for the dowry and allow the woman to marry the man of her choice.
The traditional gift giving of bridal shower favors are still being observed, the guests mostly bring gifts to the bride during the party, mostly things that the new couple could use when they start to live on their own and have their own family. It is also the occasion that other guests ask the bride what gifts they could give the new couple.
