Wedding shower invitations have a unique place in different traditions, for they are designed to add a symbolic charm to the occasion.

Thus, red is used in the wedding shower invitation cards as a traditional wedding gesture. Also in Croatia, married women folks remove the bride’s veil and replace it with a handkerchief and proscenium, symbolizing her new married status. And then, the ceremonial occasion is graced by songs and dance. Also, a game is played during the bridal shower by dividing the teams and dressing up each member of the team, in a “married woman’s costume”. The bride then chooses the best outfit including the color of the piece of cloth. Thus, through the wedding shower invitations guests come to know the color the bride has chosen for her bathroom, kitchen and bedroom for her newly married house.
