Bridal Shower
Asdis Spellmen
Your engagement season is a special time that you and your fiance get to spend together celebrating your love and relationship as you plan your wedding to celebrate your life long commitment to one another. This, generally, only comes once in your life and is a unique time filled with different ways to celebrate and anticipate your upcoming nuptials. One of those celebrations is the Bridal shower. The Bridal Shower is the party to not only congratulate the bride on her engagement but also to prepare her for married life and the couple living on their own.
Although it is less common for brides and grooms to have never left home until saying “I do” this tradition of the community and loved ones of the couple to “shower” the happy couple with gifts and needed items for their new life together. But this is typically filled with fun games, prizes, food, and fun company.
Games:
An idea for a fun game for the guests to play during the Bridal Shower is a Jeopardy style game with questions all about the couple or wedding traditions in general. Everyone plays and the game can get pretty spirited with the competition blooming in everyone, especially if there are prizes involved.
Food/Drink:
A self-serve mimosa bar would be a fun and classy addition to any bridal shower to offer an elegant addition to the food and beverages table. Ever since the craze of the charcuterie board started it has gripped society rather firmly and forever changed the landscape of the food table. Not only is that one option that can serve many people, but they often can cater to a wide variety of dietary restrictions so everyone can have a chance to enjoy it!
Whether you, dear reader, are the community member or friend of the bride and choosing to throw them a bridal shower, or you are the bride anxiously awaiting your chance to celebrate you and your fiance, the most important thing to remember is to have fun and get to celebrating!
