About Bridal Shower
A bridal shower is a gathering held before a wedding, traditionally organized by a friend or relative rather than the couple, where guests bring gifts for the new household. Many of the customs on this grid are practical in origin: a registry tells guests what the couple actually needs, and recipe cards passed around the table once stocked a first kitchen. Games like bingo, ribbon bows saved from packages, and small favors sent home with guests round out the clues here.
Reach for this while planning a shower, or set it out on the gift table for guests to work through as the party fills up.
