Usually, this is the time when relatives and close friends give inspirations, advices, and moral support to the wife-to-be about the new life she is about to face.
The celebration of a bridal shower is said to have originated from giving of dowry practices. During those times, when the family of the bride-to-be is poor and the parents cannot provide a dowry for their daughter, or when the father disapproves the marriage and does not provide a dowry, the friends of the bride-to-be would gather and provide gifts to make up for the dowry and allow the woman to marry the man of her choice.
The traditional gift giving of bridal shower favors are still being observed, the guests mostly bring gifts to the bride during the party, mostly things that the new couple could use when they start to live on their own and have their own family. It is also the occasion that other guests ask the bride what gifts they could give the new couple.
At present, as gratitude to the guests who come and attend the shower party, bride distributes bridal shower favors for souvenirs as a remembrance of this special day in her life. Consequently, the guests now also anticipate this gift-giving event in every bridal shower.
Just like wedding favors, so many gift ideas could be used as bridal shower favors.
