Should You Have A Bridal Shower?
A bridal shower is not a necessity but it's a nice traditional pre-wedding event that the family or MOH hosts to celebrate, congratulate and shower the bride-to-be with gifts and good wishes!
On the wedding day, you won’t be able to talk to everyone, a bridal shower is less of an action-packed day when you can have quality time celebrating with the ladies in your life.
The Guest List
Unsure of who to invite?
There aren’t rules about who to invite! Invite family and as many close friends that you want to celebrate with! However, your guest list will have a big part in the venue selection.
Traditionally, a bridal shower’s guest list is exclusively female, however, some people are expanding the guest list to include men and women.
Something to keep in mind:
Everyone invited to the bridal shower is invited to the wedding, but not everyone invited to the wedding is invited to the shower!
Themes We Love
You don't need to have a theme, but it's always really fun to see the bride celebrated in a way she would love that reflects her personality!

What To Do
Games or no games: completely up to you, there are many traditional games that you can find online and play! We recommend keeping the games to a maximum of 1-2. Here are some we think are fun: guess her dress and how well do you know the bride question and answer.
Traditionally, it's a daytime event that lasts approximately 4 hours. Many people celebrate with a sit-down lunch, casual finger foods or a high tea service. However, you can make yours unique by throwing an evening event! It is completely customizable for the bride-to-be!
What To Wear
Traditionally, brides will live in their bridal glory with a white dress! However, brides are always spicing things up so you do you and wear what makes you feel beautiful or something that goes with your theme (if you have one)! Make sure to include on the invitation for guests not to wear the colour you choose to wear so the spotlight is still on you!
