Did you have a bridal shower during covid? Or did you decide not to have one? How was your experience? Did more/less people show up? I just had my bridal shower this past Saturday. While I may have...

I’ve spent so much time on Pinterest trying to find cute bridal shower favors but nothing seems to call my attention. Any one have examples or suggestions?

I had my bridal shower Saturday. Our wedding date is 10/31, and they kept the shower with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. The party was lovely, and the cake was amazing... On theme and gorgeous...
I’m getting married on June 12, 2021. My maid of honor is my cousin and doesn’t live in the same state I live in. I decided to do research on what venue I would like my bridal shower to be located at...

I hadn’t planned on having a shower. FH and I have been together for almost 9 years, and lived together for 8. We already have a home together, so we don’t really need gifts. However, FH’s Teenage...

Before I joined Wedding Wire, I was aware of two pre-wedding parties: the bridal shower and the bachelorette/bachelor party. Since being on these forums, I've seen posts about engagement parties,...
