A bridal shower is a pre-wedding party, typically thrown two to six months before the wedding. When choosing the date, try to pick something that will be convenient for both the bride and the guests. Start planning early to have a better chance at securing the perfect venue and the desired date.
Throwing a bridal shower is usually the responsibility of the maid of honor, bridesmaids, bridal attendants or close friends of the bride. Mothers and mothers-in-law are traditionally excluded from the role of hosts, but the rules are much more flexible these days and basically anyone who wants to throw the bridal shower can do so.
