A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride-to-be in anticipation of her wedding. Bridal showers were originally arranged to present gifts to the bride since they commonly took care of the household deeds; however, in more modern times the bridal shower has been dedicated towards the giving of lingerie and sex enhancing toys.
Typically, invitation for males to be present at the bridal shower is not commonly given due to the embarrassing nature of the shower; however, we now commonly see a “Wedding Shower” which is more like the original bridal showers where ordinary house gifts are given to the bride and groom. In modern society is very common for the groom, groomsmen and friends of the groom to attend the wedding shower with the bride and to receive household gifts, cash and gift-cards to help the bride and groom in their marriage.
