It’s spring and love is in the air. This also means bridal showers and baby shower invitations are on their way. Wondering what to wear to a Bridal or Baby Shower as a guest? I found the perfect dress for your next event.
I enjoy gathering with my family and friends to celebrate an upcoming wedding or the birth of a child. This means I’m going to wear something nice to let the hostess know that this celebration is considered special! That being said, I’m putting on my Sunday Best. My first choice is typically a dress.
What to Wear to a Bridal Or Baby Shower as Guest
Recently, while shopping on Amazon. I came across this pretty floral print 3/4 sleeve dress. I had remembered previously seeing it on a fellow blogger- Cathy from The Middle Page Blog. And I was excited to see it available on Amazon, for under $40. With free shipping and free returns, I decided to give it a try. Although the shipping took a little longer than expected, two weeks versus the typical two days, I was still eager to give the dress a try.
It arrived packaged very nicely. The quality and the print are great. After reading the size chart, I decided to size up. I usually wear a size 2 in dresses. I could have possibly taken my usually size, however, I am happy to be more comfortable. The dress is a available in a variety of prints and patterns, but I do love the quality and print of this blush pink. I plan to wear this to a shower I have in April.
Showers are no longer reserved for Sunday afternoons. I’ve attended midweek evening showers, Saturday afternoon showers, and even Friday night showers. When deciding what to wear take into consideration the location and the time of day. Also check to see if there is a theme. Shower themes are often indicated on the invite. Of course, you’ll want to be comfortable and this means dressing in something that you enjoy wearing.
Showers are a time to socialize and reconnect with other as well as honor the mom to be or bride to be. Little girls dream of one day getting married and/or becoming a mom. These dreams all turn into reality in the circle of life. When you’re included in this special time of celebration for someone consider the fact that your circle has now grown bigger.
Cheers!
I love to dress up but I find that a lot of women don’t do that anymore. I much prefer a dress to pants. Sometimes I feel overdressed. Comments I get “Look at you all dressed up. What are your thoughts on this Nancy/
Hello Maureen,
I really feel it’s important to dress for yourself and in clothes that make you feel confident. Wear what expresses your best qualities. Good friends will not judge you by what you are wearing and who knows you may even be a style inspiration to them. What you are wearing reflects who you are, it’s not just a fashion statement. Be true to yourself and wear what makes you look like the best version of you!
Regards,
Nancy
Thanks Nancy for your response. I have to do what I feel comfortable doing.
Love your blog!

I will. I will try and spread the word about your blog. I purchased something that you featured one time and get lots of compliments on it. I can’t for the life of me remember what it was but I will let you know when I remember what it was. LOL This happens when you are 67!
Oh Maureen that is too funny, but it happens to me as well! Please let me know when you remember. Also if you ever need help styling something send me a photo of it. I’ll be happy to show you a couple different ways you can wear it. Thank you very much for telling your friends, I really do appreciate that.
My Best,
Nancy
Such a pretty dress! I love the floral pattern and the roses print with the accent at the waist with the stripes. I love that the stripes are repeated at the bottom. The style is gorgeous on you and the square red bag is an elegant touch! Perfect for a shower! I haven’t bought clothes from Amazon yet, perhaps I need to! Good tip regarding sizing as well!

A perfect post, at the perfect time! My daughter is getting married and I have NO appropriate dresses for the showers. Thank you!!!
Hello Lisa,
If I can be of any help looking for ideas please let me know. I’ve done this for other readers. I actually wrote a blog post about attending a destination wedding in Colorado after a reader sent me an email. Just tell me what style and colors appeal to you and I can send you a couple links to dresses. Good Luck, this is a special time and you’ll want to enjoy it.
Regards,
Nancy
