Work Bridal Shower

Victoria, on March 15, 2018 at 4:38 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 10

My coworkers are throwing me an office bridal shower. I'm supper excited because I actually wasn't going to have one and them wanting to have one for me really means a lot. We normally dress business casual and I usually don't get dolled up until the weekends. Part of me wants to dress festively since it will be my only shower and I am excited but the other part of me kinda thinks I would look awkward and silly. What would yall do? Has anyone else had a work bridal shower?

    I haven't, but I'd think to just dress like you normally do. Without knowing the details, the shower would last a couple hours at most throughout the work day, I'd find it silly to be decked out (in my mind, a white dress, dolled up hair, full face - if this isn't a normal look for you) for a short affair during work. But by all means if you want to add a little extra makeup, maybe glam up your outfit a bit (but not too much).

    Oh the most I was thinking was wearing all white (definitely pants) maybe some cuter shoes and some jewelry, but nothing different as far as my hair or makeup.

    I would stay business casual but maybe wear a cute new floral top and cardigan, something new for spring.

    I think you could go for a dressy casual look that day and that would be fine! Fun accessories and a nice white or floral outfit would be good without being out of place at work from what you describe. As long as your outfit doesn't distract from your work today I think there would be no issue.

    Ita really sweet that your coworkers are throwing a shower for you! Enjoy!

    Then yeah, I'd say go for it! No shame in wanting to look cute for your shower Smiley smile A white dress wouldn't be bad either but so long as it's business appropriate, which I'm sure you know.

    I haven had a bridal shower but I would dress up just a little more than my everyday business casual. As long as it stays appropriate I don’t see why not!

    I get cold easily, and this Midwest winter isn't letting up, I need some pants to wear layers underneath lol. All of my white dresses my either be too girly or too cluby to wear to work though.

    Dress up if you like! NO biggie. My co-workers had a surprise baby shower for me. They told me we were taking department pictures so that i'd dress a little more business casual than i normally do. I basically dresses the same as normal. However, when the day came i was like ohh wow now i see! Very nice when this is done at work.

    I dressed up a little nicer than usual for my work shower, but not TOO nice.... I am a preschool teacher after all! My closest co-worker helped to organize everything and it was very simple. She just collected money for my honeymoon (an option on our registry) since she knew I would be too anxious to open presents in front of all 30 of my coworkers. We just ate and drank tea for an hour. Most people were just ready to leave after that because it was an early release day so technically everyone stayed after hours lol
