Since the 1880s, bridal showers have been an event for the women in a bride’s life to gather and help her prepare for the milestone of marriage. Guests would provide or, “shower”, the bride with gifts to help her nest and set up her new home with her spouse. Several pre-wedding events happen before the big day, but none are more exciting for the bride than a bridal shower. Host an unforgettable bridal shower on a luxury yacht with City Cruises New Jersey, and experience breathtaking on-the-water views to celebrate the bride-to-be and create lifelong memories.
Last Sail Before the Veil with City Cruises New Jersey
Dating back to the 16th century in Holland, a young woman’s father refused to provide a dowry for a marriage he disapproved of. The people of the town offered small gifts to help her start her home without the money from her father’s dowry. The tradition stands today where guests typically “shower” couples with gifts for the home, and it is a celebration meant to be fun, light-hearted, and an opportunity for family members and friends to celebrate the bride ahead of her nuptials. Bridal showers can be intimate gatherings where you spend quality time with loved ones, or large, luxurious soirees complete with delicious food and entertainment. No matter what style you choose, it is important to plan ahead to guarantee smooth sailing. That is where City Cruises comes in.
