Wedding Bridal Shower

Before the wedding date, the bride and the groom to be are usually treated on an occasion widely practiced in almost all modern cultures. For the groom, this event is known in many terms, including stag party, stag night, or stag do (commonly used terms in Canada, UK, Ireland, and New Zealand), bull's party (South Africa), or buck's party or buck's night (Australia). But more commonly, this is called as the bachelor party. Aside from the groom's party, the bride also holds its own event before the actual wedding date. This event is called the bridal shower. A bridal shower is a gift giving party given for a bride before her wedding. The custom originated in the United States, although the first stories about these events have been known to originate in Brussels, Belgium around 1860. It remains a primarily U.S. and Canadian practice. Similar to the stag party, in which the best man is in charge of the party, bridal showers are usually coordinated by the bridesmaids, who invite guests to offer gifts for the home of the bride and groom.
