Just in case you missed any of the wedding party week coverage here on Dear, you can check out my recap below!
Being a part of someone's wedding is a huge honor, but it's also very time-consuming and expensive. It seems that everyone's free time is getting more and more limited, so when you add wedding requirements to the mix, they can feel like more of a burden than an event to look forward to. Typically brides have one engagement party, one bridal shower, and one bachelorette party, but some have many more.
Traditionally a bridal shower is an opportunity for women to get together to "shower" the bride in the presents that she’ll need to make a home. While certainly times have changed in terms of wedding etiquette, generally, bridal showers have remained the same. To find out some basic shower etiquette and ways to make this traditional event more contemporary, read more.
- Typically the shower is thrown and planned by the maid of honor and/or a female relative — the bride’s mother may be involved in the planning, but she's not in charge of the occasion.
Dear Sugar and Bride-to-Be Betty need your help. Should she tell her fiance's mother to travel to the
bridal shower her mother is planning or should she let her future mother-in-law plan her own?
Dear Sugar--
I am getting married next August and have been diligently planning the
wedding.
