BRIDALSHOWER

Bridal shower

A bridal shower is a gift-giving party held for a bride-to-be in anticipation of her wedding. The custom originated in the 1890s and is today most common in the United States, Canada, and, by North American influence, Australia. Bridal showers were originally arranged to present gifts to the bride since they commonly took care of the household deeds; however, in more modern times the bridal shower has been dedicated towards the giving of lingerie and sex enhancing toys.
