Bridal showers – every bride’s dream. When the bridal shower begins, it signals the onset of a wedding, a special day, and a momentous event all in one. All the bride’s closest friends and female relatives get together to shower the bride with gifts, wish her the best of luck on her upcoming wedding, and reminisce about old times – the old boyfriends, the first date, and the days of college friendship. It’s not surprise then, that bridal shower invitations are often personal, prescient, and sincere.

Bridal showers are a tradition endemic to the United States and Canada in the 20th century. As such, the majority of bridal shower invitations are sold in U.S. web stores. There is scant evidence that bridal showers originated in Belgium in the mid-19th century. In either case, bridesmaids network to throw a party at the home of the bride and groom. They give gifts for the new home and share nostalgic memories. Legend has it that the bridal showers actually date much farther back, to the colonial era. At that time, when a father did not approve of a marriage, the friends would compensate for the loss of the father’s dowry bestowal by bringing their own gifts.
