Wedding Shower

My brother-in-law is getting married next month, so Thomas and I hosted a party for them. They are engaged now, which means that John has asked her to marry him, given her a ring, called an engagement ring, and she has said yes. In the period between getting engaged and getting married, it is common tradition for friends and family to give the couple parties, called showers, for the purpose of giving them gifts to help them furnish their household.
There are all kinds of wedding showers, each of which bears the name of the theme and kind of gifts to be given to the couple. Traditionally only the bride attends these showers although these days it is increasingly common for the groom to attend them, too. These are usually called wedding showers instead of bridal showers. Some of the common shower types are household or kitchen showers, lingerie showers, bedroom or bathroom showers, and linen showers. A couple of the newer ones are tool, home improvement, and camping showers. There is a bit of fun in these since the gifts for say, a bedroom, kitchen shower may be anything that could possibly be used in these rooms. Use your imagination: the couple are newlyweds.
