Bridal showers as we know today are much different than they were back several years ago. For some trivia and history on when bridal showers started, they say that back in the 1500’s – 1600’s era is when bridal showers began in the country of Holland. It all started when a young Dutch girl from a prominent family fell madly in love with a young man who’s family was millers. Her heart was so set on marrying this young lad but unfortunately her father and family disapprove of marrying him because of his stature. Since the father would not approve, he or his family would not provide any dowry, dowry are gifts which would help establish their home as the couple starts their new lives together as husband and wife. So without the dowry, the father figured they wouldn’t be able to get married. When friends heard about her father not providing any dowry, the friends and community we sadden and they all got together bringing gifts showering the couple so they could establish a home allowing the couple to be together. The father was so overwhelmed from the outpouring of all the people, he and the family consented to the marriage and provided the gifts for their happy home. From that day forward, it has become custom for the future brides friends and family to bring her gifts showering her before she starts her new journey. 

   Today’s bridal showers have developed into a party of celebrations as her last days before she begins her new journeys of life with the one she loves – her soulmate. Traditionally, guests would bring the bride to be; useful gifts and accessories that would help both the bride and groom with their new marriage and to establish a home, but, the times have changed with bridal showers typically evolving around the bride. Still, many bring bridal gifts, well wishes and their favorite dishes to pass around with bridal shower games planned out for their event. Usually the maid of honor will host the shower, but you’ll find that even a close friend or a family member will host and plan the event. Many showers are planned and decorated around the theme of the couples wedding and their wedding and bridal accessories. A fairytale theme, beach or Las Vegas style, a traditional style or just opt for a coffee or tea occasion or sometimes they’ll make a day at the spa just to pamper the future bride.

     Another change in the history of bridal showers are bridal shower favors. The bride will chose favors typically based on her wedding theme or favors with such phrases as “Lets Celebrate” “Love is Brewing” or even “Two Peas in a Pod” are popular. The use for favors is to spread thanks to all of her guests for celebrating and for sharing the bridal shower and or their special wedding day. The bridal or wedding favors can also reflect the personality of the bride as well, adding personalization of the bride and groom’s name or just the brides name with the date of her bridal shower party.  Bath favors and candles are another popular favor brides will elect to choose as a small token of appreciation for attending her event. Shower party favors have developed of the years with unique designs and styles that are not only adorable but also reflect the variety of themes events are planned around.
