What Could Be Expected In a BRIDAL SHOWER?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life 2 years ago

Wife's niece is in town. She's a Filipino and have been in Canada for years. She found the man of her life and though they already got civilly married in the foreign land, they decided to have their church wedding here. And tomorrow will be the big day for both of them.

Tonight (as by the time I have posted this, it is already 9 in the evening, Friday), her sister organized a Bridal Shower for her. And all the girls in the family is there to attend this, including my wife.

So, I am here with the kids and made me think, "what could happen in the party?" I am just curious, of course, I am a man and I never had experienced what a bridal shower is, and even a stag party is unknown to me, what could be expected there? Does it need to have a stag party too for the groom when there is a bridal shower for the bride?

Bridal showers here are a nice time, u bring the bride gifts & just enjoy the company. Stag parties are another thing. I have heard of them getting quite out of control & the men doing things they shouldn't. I hope the shower went well & she got alot of nice things.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

i heard something about the bride getting some good things, gifts, during the shower. but what could be a husband expecting from the wife attending the shower? lol i mean, could he expect the wife to behave in the shower? lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

I don't think bridal showers ever turn out to wild like bachelor parties do or at least i have never heard of one being that way. I don't think u can compare the two things.

for me none needed, it depends on the person. there are others who like to have that kind of party before the big event. that is another expenses so it depends upon the budget they have if they can afford to have that kind of party. have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

since both the girls, the bride and her big sister, are working in Canada, i know they have enough funds for the party and so as for the entire wedding, the church and the reception. i thought big sister shoulders the shower and she is also helping the bride with the other expenses.

Well at a bridal shower nothing much cause its nothing like a bacheloret party. At the bridal shower there will be a few games, talking of who is in the wedding, the women will eat and that's about it with the bridal shower. I had one last year for my brother and going to be having next year for my big wedding as well.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

big wedding, next year? i thought you are already wed with your hubby. so you mean, you still never experienced a bridal shower, as you are the bride, the celebrant? lol


myLot reputation of 90/100. Celestenicole (4523)  2 years ago

Yes I am illegally married to my husband. No i didn't get to have all of that because we did our wedding through the Justice of the Peace. Meaning we did it through the court system. I really do what to have a nice outdoors wedding with all of our family that can be there. I'll experiences everything from my bridal shower, to bacherlet party and all next year. We just wanted to over with quick and easy the first the time, so we can relax and enjoy all of big wedding stuff next August.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

now it's clear to me. thanks for the clarification. and i wish you will have a great one shower party when it comes to you. have a nice day


myLot reputation of 90/100. Celestenicole (4523)  2 years ago

Thanks and I will make sure that everyone has fun including myself.

A bachelorette party might involve a visit to one of those clubs, but a bridal shower is just a nice little party with gifts and possibly party games.

I've been to a couple. The bride-to-be sometimes gets gifts, the girls talk, and it can vary from party to party. But think of it as a batulor party for women, but the woman has to save herself for her new man. basically.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

so a bridal shower could also be like a bachelorette party for the bride to be? well, that seems to be what happened to last night's party. lol

Hi Neil,


Well its all ladies together having fun, when I had mine we all went to the local pub and the men went to another, we made sure we didn't meet up with them, its a shame you are not going with the men, I am sure you won't want to be with the ladies either, LOL!! hugs.


Tamara


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Hi neil, If given chance I will prefer to have bridal shower too, but not a stag party for himlol.He will not think of anything about me about getting wild I 'm sure I will behaveangellol.But I don't think he will behave if he had that stag partyfear,,kidding! well bridal shower or stag party is not necessary depends on partner's agreement.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

i had no stag party or even a bridal shower for her before we got married. and yes, i don't think it is necessary though. but i think, the party itself is not organized by anyone of the two celebrants, i guess someone, say a sister or a friend, but not either of the two. of course, they are just additional expenses with the wedding proper. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. cloud31 (1459)   ranked 113 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

Well,other may organized that both party but there's still a choice to attend or not to attend I guess,well for I'm not really fond doing so,why not just the organizer put it in cashrofl for the couple to use after their weddinglol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

better idea, cloud. but the bride is not having much problem with expenses since her big sister is helping her. good for them for having a better life in canada. unfortunately, the foreigner groom lost his job so the wife-to-be (well actually, the wife already since they are already legally married, civilly in alberta) shoulders the expenses. everything from their travel to wedding to reception. at least, there is big sister behind her, she came here about 5 days before the wedding, from canada.

i only saw bridal showers or stag parties in the movies. its usually during these parties that the ladies on the gents will hve the good time before saying goodbye to it forever lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

yes ybong, i only see them in the movies. so that means, both of us did not experienced the stag party before we got wed? lol if you are given a chance back, would you also like to have a stag party for you or a bridal shower for her? rofl


myLot reputation of 91/100. ybong007 (4482)   ranked 1,982 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

I don't think i would enjoy that kind of party. I don't think my wife would enjoy either. So even if given a chance i wouldn't come up with that kind of party. In the movies, the women usually hire a macho dancer to entertain them or the men hire a striptease dancer. I don't think i would enjoy thinking that they're all having a party with that macho dancer out there lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

that is actually what i was thinking last night, the feelings of knowing they are enjoying the dancers at the bar. angry anyway, we are mature enough so we don't have to do things that would only make the situation worse. lol


myLot reputation of 91/100. ybong007 (4482)   ranked 1,982 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

There's always a risk especially if there's alcohol around. A lot of people do stupid things when they're drunk.happy. But i think it's the men who are more at risk at getting tempted that the women.


myLot reputation of 98/100. neildc (8307)   ranked 236 out of 32,948 in life  2 years ago

i also guess so. thanks for sharing, ybong.thumbup
