Back in the day, \u201cbridal showers\u201d were meant to help a young bride without much (if any) of a dowry set up house. Fortunately, we\u2019ve gotten away from the archaic practice of a dowry, but showers are still a \u201cthing\u201d \u2013 and a fun one, at that. However, with changing times, you can count a \u201cwedding shower\u201d as an updated variation of this tradition. For years, Birkat Elyon<\/a> has helped couples \u201cseal the deal\u201d with a high-quality CZ engagement or wedding ring <\/a>\u00a0(helpful suggestion if you\u2019re still looking\u2026) \u2013 so here\u2019s how to know which kind of shower is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start, bridal showers tend to be more of an \u201call-girl\u201d event. It\u2019s traditionally organized and hosted by the maid of honor, with some input from the bridesmaids and the mother of the bride (and sometimes, the mother of the groom).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to gifts, a bridal shower may include items\nnot just for the couple, but for the bride herself.  She may receive luxury beauty products or\nlingerie, even a special heirloom to include on her wedding day. The bridal\nshower is usually held at a brunch or afternoon tea, and games often include\nthings like trivia games about the bride or making a dress out of toilet paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now on to wedding showers. These are a more modern invention, designed to be more inclusive with both men and women invited. It\u2019s also a better option for same-sex couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s typically co-hosted by the maid of honor and the best\nman, by the parents of the couple, or by a group of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for gifts, wedding shower presents are meant to be enjoyed equally by the couple. When it comes to activities, look for things that can entertain everyone, such as trivia games about both the bride and groom, or outdoor entertainment like mini golf, kickball, or volleyball. That theme continues when it comes to a venue: wedding showers are less formal, so think of a cookout or a local brewery or winery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, if you want to show your maid of honor or best man appreciation for all their hard work during this pre-wedding stuff, you can find a great gift for them at Birkat Elyon<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
