A bridal shower is a fun pre-wedding event where close family and friends of the bride come together to celebrate her and her upcoming nuptials. These parties generally include food, drinks, and themed games to get everyone excited for the festivities ahead. Desserts are usually on the menu and serve as the perfect way to end the celebration on a sweet note. Though its not required, hosts will sometimes have a special cake made for the event. These confections can be decorated to fit the theme or color palette of the event, and they can even have a cake topper to honor the occasion.
