The underlying reason for a Bridal shower is that it's a perfect occasion for family and friends of the bride to spend relaxed time with her before the big wedding day. A Bridal shower is commonly hosted by the maid-of-honor and bridesmaids or friends and family of the bride or groom. The custom is said to have grown out of earlier dowry practices when a poor woman's family might not have the money to provide a dowry for her, or when a father refused to give his daughter her dowry because he did not approve of the marriage. Another custom was to help the new couple set up a home, or to help the bride get together a trousseau. The Bridal shower kicks off the wedding festivities and it is important that everything goes well.

You may also give bridesmaids gifts that are more personal. These gifts are often chosen according to the likes and interests of each bridesmaid. For example, you may need to look for a cooking tool set for a bridesmaid who is a cooking enthusiast. Or if one of them loves to travel, you may need to select a travel-related item that she can use while traveling, such as a travel bag, portable grooming kit, or a travel book. It pays to know your bridesmaids well, because the more you know them, the easier you can decide what right gifts to offer them.

Planning a Spa Themed Shower at home will save you money and the options on what to do are endless! A spa themed shower at home gives you a lot of flexibility and you can plan the day exactly as you please, keeping the bride and her wishes in mind of course!

To make your bridal shower party favors a lot more special, you can find a unique way of presenting these tokens to the guests. They can be covered or contained in something special and you can use pretty gift boxes that come in all the colors you can think of. There are also plenty of textures and patterns that you can choose from. You may also find clear plastic bags that are in the shape of bride and groom. There are those that come in satin, silk, and paper. Some bags are even edible!

Take the time to consider what will fit the atmosphere of your bridal shower party, and even the nature of your guests. If the guests are mostly conservative, then you may have to go with traditional bridal shower party favors. On the other hand, if your bridal shower guests are mostly your peers, and are of the same age as you, you can go for more creative, unique, even hilarious or naughty favors that will surely delight your guests.
