DP Weddings BRIDAL SHOWER

HAVING A BRIDAL SHOWER

A bridal shower is a fun way for a woman's friends and family to celebrate her, prior to the wedding,bridal showers started when women wanted to marry "unsuitable husbands" and thus their families refused to provide a dowry. Friends of the couple gathered to pitch in and make up for the lack of a dowry by helping them set up house.
 Today, they are a time to share stories, eat great food, and pay special attention to the bride. 

The maid of honor usually plays host for the bridal shower, unless she is a member of the bride's immediate family,and it is also very convenient and fair when the other bridal maids assist in the cost for the shower.
and to help with set up, planning, decorating, etc.

The bridal shower could take place at a bridesmaid's home, but you can choose any place where you like to throw a party, such as a favorite restaurant,a friend home or hotel. You can also choose to have theme showers at paint-your-own-pottery studios, beauty salons, galleries or other favorite party spots. It's okay to not pick up all costs, as long as you tell guests beforehand.The shower should take place anywhere from 6 months before to the week of the wedding. If many guests are traveling from out of town, it may make sense to have it close to the wedding, so they can attend. Otherwise, it can be nice to have it four months or more before the wedding, so that it will add to anticipation, without adding to a bride's last minute stress. The traditional time is Sunday afternoon, but really any time day or night is fine.
