What's the difference between a bridal shower, wedding shower, and bachelorette?
I have been to one too many "bridal showers" that were really a combo pack, part bridal shower and mostly "bachelorette parties at midday"...smh..lol. Times have changed and yes some people are trying to put a modern twist on some old traditions, however there's always basic fundamentals that must be followed. Let's cover some of them.
A bridal shower is a party given one or two months prior to the wedding. The invitees are typically the brides female friends and family (that are invited to the wedding. It's tacky to invite a person to the shower and not to the wedding. How would you feel if someone done it to you? Selah ) to an afternoon party. You play games, eat , watch the bride open her gifts and have fun. This is the party that her mother and grandmother feel comfortable attending.
Wedding showers is sometimes used interchangeably with bridal shower, but there's the growing trend of co-ed showers that have cause wedding planner to generally define bridal showers for women only and wedding showers (sometimes referred to as a Jack/Jill Shower) for the co-ed showers.
A bachelorette party is traditionally an evening affair that typically takes place a week or at least the day before the wedding. The brides friends and family get together for fun and other debauchery. Normally you don't invite your Grandma or Mom, although I've seen both attend. It's always geared and themed around sex. Despite its reputation as "a sodden farewell to bachelor days" or "an evening of debauchery," a bachelorette's party is simply a party, given in honor of the bride, in the style that is common to that social circle.
A successful event is a planned event. A. Taylor made event, especially for you!
