Bridal Shower Quotes About Love and Marriage

Looking for the best bridal shower quotes to help you write the perfect card for the bride to be?

A wedding is a special time in a couple’s lives, but it also a special time for their family and friends, most of whom will be attending the bridal shower!

A study by the University of Denver found that couples who express gratitude towards each other have stronger and more positive relationships.

The study found that expressing gratitude can increase feelings of love and affection, and can also help to foster a sense of connection and commitment.

Some of these friends may be the reason the couple met.

They may have watched their love blossom from a casual flirtation to a committed romance.

They may also be the people tasked with throwing the most epic bridal shower of all time.

That can be a lot of decision-making: what type of games should we play, should we have a theme, and what should the cake say?

All of the attendees will be excited to see the bride (and eat the cake), and have probably struggled with finding the words to wish her well.

Below you’ll find a few bridal shower quotes that should help with inscribing the card and offering some advice.

There are even a few bridal shower quotes about the origins of bridal showers in case you were wondering what prompted the idea for this kind of party!
