A bridal shower takes place about 1-2 months before the wedding. This is considered the last chance for friends and family (who are not in the wedding party) to give personal well-wishes to the bride-to-be before her wedding day. Because the weeks and days leading up to a wedding tend to be incredibly busy for a bride-to-be, she may not have the time in her schedule to see many of her loved ones before the big day.
