Why Do We Throw Bridal Showers? Bridal showers originated in the time of dowries. When a bride-to-be wanted to marry a man who didn’t suit her status, her family often refused to provide a dowry. In order to make up for the lack of a dowry, friends of her family hosted bridal showers where they showered the bride-to-be with gifts to help her establish a home with her future husband. Though today’s bridal showers have lost their original meaning, they are still very popular as the perfect opportunity to eat, drink, share fun stories, and of course, shower the bride-to-be with presents. |

No Bridesmaid? Bridal showers are typically hosted by the maid of honor. This role requires the ability to manage unexpected problems, have a couple of perfect party plans in mind, and know everything about the bride-to-be. To this end, requesting her to take over the MOH duties should be done in a personalized way. For example, you can snail-mail her a favor and a note in a personalized favor box, remind her of your special moments spent together with the DIY album memento, surprise her with a funny card, pop the question during a picnic, use fortune cookies, apply a custom label on a bottle of wine, and beyond – the sky’s the limit! Either way, eFavormart provides plenty of materials to bring your most creative plans to life. |

Decorations & Ways to Use Burlap Nothing screams autumn like burlap. You don’t have to google a long time to find out how you can weave this material into your bridal shower décor. Our rustic collection offers a full range of burlap runners, tablecloths, burlap table skirts, sashes, favor bags, curtains, flowers, and even fairy lights! Though most of our jute products come in natural tones, you can enliven your rural setup by using our burlap accessories, which come in red, purple, aqua, black, and more. Wherever you use burlap, we strongly recommend you “romanticize” its rough and rustic appeal by adding neutral tones (burlap looks perfect with wood or white accessories), faux blooms in autumnal hues, or a lace ribbon. |
