Whether for a friend, family member or just a casual acquaintance, being invited to a bridal shower is often a huge joy for the person being invited as ladies can usually all get together over the joy and deep meaning behind a wedding. Once you have an invite to a bridal shower, you want to make sure that you observe a few simple precautions to ensure that you are not in any way a detraction from the experience of the bride-to-be, whom the event is all about.
The most important social convention to adhere to is to remember who's day it is. Even if you are prettier, more interesting or just catching random attention-- don't let the spotlight stray on to yourself for so long that the bride feels tucked away in the shadows.
Bringing an amazing gift doesn't just have to be about spending a ton of money. Think of a gift that represents what you know about the bride but try to think in terms of the context of her relationship and future with the groom. Think of an item that can last in their life for years!
It's an understandable temptation to usually only talk to people you know at events and to otherwise remain somewhat sectioned off from “outsiders” – Sometimes, the best gift you can give the host is your ability to mingle. They're probably trying to stir the pot anyway!
Try to make it around the room and meet at least three new people at the shower that you didn't really know before. You're not only making the job of host easier for the bride and her family by doing so, but you're also strengthening your bond with the bride by meeting some of the other important ladies in her life.
Everybody loves occasions and fuss but sometimes at the beginning and end of an event, as the host, you're looking for support from your A-team. If you don't think you're really part of someone's inner-circle, consider holding back on that early arrival or late departure! While it's certainly true that if you were invited that you are wanted, everyone wants their moment in the sun. Remembering the let everyone have their moment to shine will make you extra loved and appreciated for your humility.
Keeping a few basic pointers in mind when you go to attend a bridal shower is always good form. Even if the bride is your best friend or your sister, it's too easy to get swept up in the emotion of the occasion and lose track of your manners. A few minutes spend before-hand considering these possibilities will be well spent to making the event a joy for you, the bride and everyone else in attendance.
