Bridal shower invitations are a clarion call to camaraderie, togetherness, and friendship remembered. Friends can gather together and remember the times they shared as single girls prowling for boys in high school and college. Wise old women, sages if you will, can impart advice from their own marriages on how to be good helpmates. Women should be encouraged to help their husbands and love them joyously, and men should be loving servants of their wives. It’s a nice mix that keeps things balanced in the relationship. The best part of bridal showers is that all friends can willingly give advice on the best ways to satisfy your husband, prepare food for him, and look after the children in hard times.

Women are the champions of the home. Without the wife, the family falls apart. That’s why husbands should realize the need to stay out of the house and let the wife invite all of her friends into the home for an awesome period of togetherness and information-sharing. Rarely do all different types and ages of women get to congregate together and edify the bride with uplifting stories and inspirational anecdotes. In fact, the bridal shower is a necessary stepping stone on the way to the wedding. There’s just nothing like the information gathered through first-hand experience from other brides.

Plus, a bridal shower enables the Maid of Honor to showcase her creative talent and awesome organizing skills in an onslaught of preparations like decorations, themes, invitations, food preparation, networking, and assessing the bride’s most special interests without giving away the idea for the party. It’s a time of great connection between the Maid of Honor and the bride that will never be forgotten.

People often feel shaky when sending out bridal shower invitations because they don’t know if they’re missing anyone or inadvertently hurting someone’s feelings. It’s all right to request a list of addresses from the bride of people she’d like to have invited. There’s nothing worse than missing a fond family friend from several years ago that everyone but the bride has forgotten.

Bridal showers also have great games, entertainment, and food for the guests. Even the most unsocial person can find and friendship in a group of bridal shower attendees. With games like ice breakers, everyone can be challenged to participate in the festivities, even if they only speak for a short amount of time or in an uncomfortable situation.
