We had a Bath Shower in Bath for my best friend's wedding. She had two American bridesmaids so we thought it only fitting to import the tradition. We had tea, gave the bride bath themed presents, and everybody seemed to have a good time.

bath Shower...I agree it is only fair that an American abroad should have one- as long as it's explained to the locals what to do so that they don't embarrass themselves by not bringing gifts etc. As you know we put our energy into our hen parties (bachelorettes)
In Cork, in the south and south west of Ireland they have a "Kitchen party" for the bride sometimes, it's an old tradition where all her female relatives get together for tea and cake and some wine and they all give her gifts for her kitchen, utensils etc, I had never heard of it until my friend's sister had one, and I only live 120 miles from her

I guess with such a universal board we all have different traditions! We have a few here, mostly family ones -
- the bride stays at her parents (or in my case grandparents) the night before the wedding.
-two cakes at the wedding - one fruit cake pre-cut and packaged to take home, and a decorated white cake
-wedding showers
-day after parties when the couple open their gifts with their families and wedding party
-shags - a bigggg drunk fest basically - to raise money for the couple (I didn't have a shag - I didn't want one)
What are your traditions?
