A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride to be a few days before her upcoming wedding.  Bridal showers are usually coordinated by the brides selected bridesmaids. Traditionally, gifts are given for the bride and groom’s “new” or shared home. (Gifts are traditionally given to the bride because grooms are rarely invited to the bridal shower) The history of the custom is rooted not necessarily for the provision of goods for the upcoming matrimonial home, but to provided goods and financial assistance to ensure the wedding may take place.

The excitement of the bridal shower comes from entertainment such as music and games. Many bridal shower games are available online which are fun and really get the mood in gear.

Arlene Pecora recommends the classic games such as:

• What is the Bride Wearing?
• Bridal Bingo
• Spice of Life
• Words of Wisdom
• Memory Lane
• Poetry Reading
• And more!
