Bridal shower?

I believe traditionally, the maid of honor plans it, and it is typically just women. However, I’m not quite sure! I am not having one.

Bridal showers are to “shower” you with gifts. Generally from your wedding registry. Typically someone from your bridal party or a family member plans/hosts it. I think they are usually just women, but there really isn’t a reason why men can’t be invited.

The bridal shower is an opportunity for the women who are invited to your wedding to shower you with gifts before the big day. If I am invited to a shower I will bring my gift then and not on the wedding day so the couple has less to lug home. Usually the maid of honor or close family member plans it and the only real thing that happens, after a few bridal games, is the bride opens her gifts so everyone can see what she got and she can say thank you to the grifters in person. I am not having one as we are only registering for our Honeyfund and you cant exactly open virtual monetary gifts in front of people. Haha i am a little sad to be missing one more event where i get to be center of attention though. 😕 I dont get that very often.

Im not having a bridal shower. I dont want to burden someone else into planning a big party that takes a lot of time & money. I dont plan to throw one myself either because id rather focus on the wedding. But traditionally someone is supposed to host & throw the shower for you, whether thats the maid of honor, bridesmaid, or close family/friend.
