Wedding Invitations

Who should throw a bridal shower for the bride? Can my mother or sister sponser it?

Bridal showers are hosted generally by the bride’s maid of honor or
other close friend or friends. The invitations for these are usually
informal. Many bridal showers have gift themes, such as kitchen,
linens, lingerie.

It would be inappropriate for a family member to host a bridal shower
since the purpose is to receive gifts. It would appear that they are
soliciting gifts on your behalf.

Many years ago a father proved a dowry of gifts that would
accompany a bride (his daughter) into the marriage making her more
attractive to potential husbands. It would help give them a better
financial start in their new lives together. Today’s modern bridal
shower is a newer tradition to take its place. It is attended by family
and friends and is a way to jump start a bride and her groom to provide
them with some of the basic necessities.
