With the Big Day just a few weeks off, another event that your girlfriends are probably excited about is your wedding shower. This practice of gift giving for the future wife dates back to the late 1880's and is practice has spread from the United States and Canada to the whole world. The idea of giving gifts to the bride centers on her future role as Queen of the Castle, house maker and wife. Today, wedding showers are fun and highly anticipated. They can also be referred to as bachelorette parties and these, like the wedding, come in a variety of themes and motifs.
The wedding shower invitation immediately sets the mood as to what guests expect at the party. Invitations come in all shapes and sizes, from the more traditional engraved invites to funny pieces of paper shaped like wedding gown, wedding cake and even lingerie.
