The bridal shower is a tradition most brides are treated to by their maid of honor and bridesmaids. This can be a formal event with invitations, games, and shower favors. Most showers consist of friends and family getting together to "Shower" the bride with gifts for the couples home. Many are theme parties based on the gifts they will receive or on the party itself. The Bridal Shower can also include games followed by snacks or dessert.
