A bridal shower<\/a> is an opportunity to \u201cshower\u201d a future bride with gifts, attention, and more in advance of the wedding itself. If you are hoping to plan a bridal shower<\/a> or have a bridal shower planned on your behalf, perhaps you\u2019re worried about the cost and are curious about the answer to the question: who pays for the bridal shower? (Not to mention a bunch of other bridal shower etiquette questions that you might be navigating.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s our in-depth exploration of the question of who pays for the bridal shower. We also share some other bridal shower-related FAQs to help you better understand (and plan for the costs of) this important wedding-adjacent event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who pays for the bridal shower?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s traditional for the parents of the soon-to-be wedded couple to contribute to or fully pay for the wedding. However, they\u2019re not usually responsible for the cost of the bridal shower\u2014that\u2019d be a lot to ask of them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, it\u2019s common for the maid of honor and the bridal party to pay for and plan the bridal shower, with the whole group splitting the costs as evenly as possible. Sometimes, though, the person paying for and planning the bridal shower may be another good friend or friends of the couple. The mother of the bride may also contribute, depending on the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no hard and fast rules about the location of a bridal shower, just as there\u2019s no set answer to the question, \u201cWho pays for the bridal shower?\u201d Instead, it\u2019s really a matter of where is most convenient, what the soon-to-be bride would appreciate most, what your event planning budget accommodates, and how many people will be attending the shower, among other key factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you can always use a space like someone\u2019s home or backyard, it might make more sense to rent a venue for the bridal shower in a lot of situations. For instance, perhaps your shower has a particularly long guest list<\/a>, and you want to ensure you choose a venue that can comfortably accommodate everyone in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that\u2019s the case, check out Peerspace<\/a>, the largest online marketplace for event venue rentals (and much more!). Running a quick search on Peerspace makes it easy to find bridal shower venues in your area<\/a>. There are literally tens of thousands of spaces to choose from across hundreds of cities in the United States, the UK, Europe, Australia, Canada, and beyond! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This beautiful event space in San Francisco\u2019s Mission District<\/a> is another popular pick for events of all kinds, as long as the guest list is 40 people or less (which most bridal showers will be since these tend to be more intimate events). The airy space has 12-foot ceilings, a 30-foot wall of windows, and a full kitchen, plus free amenities like a sound system, HD projector, furniture, and more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that we\u2019ve answered the question \u201cWho pays for the bridal shower?\u201d you might be wondering about some other aspects of bridal shower etiquette\/norms. Here are our answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about bridal showers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the difference between a bridal shower and a bachelorette party?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We wouldn\u2019t blame you if you mixed these two wedding-adjacent events up. After all, they\u2019re both about celebrating the bride-to-be in advance of the wedding, and they both tend to have mostly female guest lists. A bachelorette party<\/a> is about having a raucous good time with friends celebrating unmarried <\/em>life (and tends to get a lot crazier than a bridal shower). Conversely, a bridal shower is about providing the bride with gifts in preparation for her future married life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, family and in-laws of all ages often attend the bridal shower. But the bachelorette party is mostly attended by younger women who are close friends with the bride. And as you might expect, the bridal shower is more of a daytime gathering, while a bachelorette party usually happens at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who typically plans and hosts a bridal shower?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the past, it was a faux pas for the family of the bride to plan a bridal shower. In fact, it conveyed the impression that the family was throwing an event to solicit gifts. Instead, people expected the bridesmaids and the maid of honor would plan the bridal shower as part of their roles in the wedding party. Today, however, it’s different. Although the bride and groom don\u2019t normally plan the shower themselves, it\u2019s acceptable for family members to do so. Alternatively, friends can plan and host the shower, or can help family members do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more insight into the question of who plans the bridal shower, check out this article on the topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When should a bridal shower take place?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is ultimately up to the soon-to-be couple and the person or people planning the bridal shower, but as a rule, most bridal showers happen somewhere between eight and two weeks in advance of the actual wedding date. Keep in mind: it\u2019s not generally accepted to plan a bridal shower before the wedding plans themselves have been fully defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When should you send out the invitations for a bridal shower?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To make sure that as many guests as possible can make it, give your bridal shower invitees<\/a> plenty of notice to add the date and time of the bridal shower to their calendars. This means sending out the invitations at least four weeks in advance of the bridal shower date\u2014if possible, six weeks in advance is even better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many people should you invite to a wedding shower?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wedding showers are more intimate events than weddings<\/a>, so everyone in attendance should be good friends or family of the bride. Traditionally, the bridal shower\u2019s attendees are the female friends and female relatives of the bride. But you don\u2019t have to stick to this tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, though, your wedding shower\u2019s guest list should be significantly shorter than the guest list for the actual wedding. If you\u2019re in charge of the guest list, make sure you don\u2019t invite anyone to the shower who isn\u2019t invited to the wedding. That could make for a confusing and awkward social situation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the bride participate in planning her bridal shower?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can involve the bride to an extent, depending on how much of the bridal shower will be a surprise. For instance, the host of the shower might ask the bride who she\u2019d like to invite to the event. It’s also helpful to ask her when to have it and if there are any themes she\u2019d especially enjoy, etc. Or, if the bride loves surprises, the person planning the shower can make everything a complete surprise, which can also be fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the groom participate in the bridal shower at all?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a tradition for the groom to show up at the end of the bridal shower, often as the bride is unwrapping her gifts, to meet all the guests and give the bride flowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
