Hens’ night and bridal showers are both common pre-marriage traditions followed in the western culture. However, they have little in common, except that they are organized for the same event i.e. the wedding.

Bridal Shower

A bridal shower is a more civilized kind of wedding tradition followed in the west.

The best thing about hosting a bridal shower is that you get plenty of time to play games, have fun, dance and enjoy the night with your friends and family.

A bridal shower is the perfect event to invite family members, your parents and anyone from the family who wouldn’t be comfortable in attending the hens’ night. The biggest reason why bridal showers have become so common is because it is easy on the pocket. It’s just a casual get-together where you could arrange some tea and food and enjoy the day playing games and having conversations about the wedding. The bride can rejuvenate and relax before the big day finally comes. Another difference between the two is that in a bridal shower, the friends and family of the bride usually shower the bride-to-be with gifts.

Hens Night
