Re: Showers

[ketita]

I come from a culture where we don't have those. Instead, the Saturday before the wedding is called "The Bride's Sabbath", and she'll usually have a whole bunch of close female friends over and they hang out and play games and talk about marriage and whatnot. But it's a very personal time. Also the gifts are all small useful things for the home.
Those I like.
Then again, I find a lot of stuff about wedding culture in America a bit inexplicable...

Re: Showers

[(Anonymous)]

So, like a bachelorette party, then?

I don't think the concept of bridal showers is crazy - it was just more relevant 50 years ago than it is today. It was an excuse for female friends and family to get together to celebrate the bride-to-be and give her presents which are useful for the home, as you said - dishes, small appliances, kitchen items, towels, that sort of thing, because the idea was that after you get married, you and your husband get a house and move in together.

It's just less relevant today because couples are often already living together, and there's less of a residual view of women with dowries/being the one in charge of the household, with more equal relationships.
