bridal shower: the invitation
June 16, 2012 • 16 comments • 2219 viewsThis arrived today.
My bridal shower invitation. And it’s tomorrow!!
“You’re cordially invited to be showered with overflowing love and amazing gifts….”
Yeah right….
Toots and Asma’ planned it these past few weeks and they have been keeping it TOP SECRET. Like seriously, they’d have these secret meetings I don’t know about etc. And when I mention bridal shower to my close friends, they’d all have sly smirks on their faces like they know something bad.
When you put those two heads together, overflowing love really doesn’t come to mind.
I’m so scared!!!!
“Limo service provided 🙂 “
They put a smiley face after limo service….. Crap, it’s a trap.
The will be picking me up so I cannot leave if I wanted to.
Guys, they’re going to torture me.
God help me.
Vivy, your wedding plans are not according to the muslim way… more like western style, christian style wedding..hope u realize it
Em, i simply think the bridal shower is simply one private gathering between bestfriends. It will be an emotional one for sure.. :’ ) Not so many meeting left til u get marry, leave the childself and becoming a woman. *weeping!!! chinup vivy!
Good luck vivy! hihihi.
Toots and Asma’ are sooooo sweet!
Oh dear. Sure, a ‘bridal shower’ is not a Muslim/Malay tradition, but (as Hani rightly said) it is a gathering of close friends, and as long as it is free of alcohol/strippers (male, female or otherwise!) I honestly do not see why not…
perhaps we r not used to the term bridal shower..it is just all gals’ outing pretty harmless unless u call in male strippers to pop out from the cake or give lapdance…i x think asma n toots wld do such a thing..these gals are modern but they are still muslim
toots and asma sangat2 baik…. bertuah ada bff macam diaorang…. semoga semuanya berjalan lancar

Call it whatever you like and do whatever you wish as long as it does not go against your believe.
We need to understand the whole story of what she and her friends (will) do before making such judgement and statement, Siti. Implying that someone is practicing a different religion could actually hurt her, and that is not so nice kan menyakitkan hati orang lain.
Siti, we understand that a Muslim wedding is merely the Nikah.
As a citizen of this country, we need to follow the procedures of marriage in this country where you need kebenaran berkahwin to get married. Getting the state’s permission to marry is definitely not an Islamic procedure but an administrative procedure. There are also other procedures involved to get married, HIV test, kursus kahwin etc.
Giving doorgifts, berinai, taking pictures, giving sweet hantarans, sirih junjung etc are also not religious but they are just what we do.
Please tell me that I’m wrong when a Muslim is allowed to pray (I’m talking about sembahyang cara Islam) in a Church when he could not find any mosque around… and he is still a Muslim, not a Christian.
The rest of what we do anywhere in the World whether with the Arabs Muslim, Chinese Muslim, Malay Muslim, Indian Muslim, Mat Salleh Muslim etc are culture, customs, traditions and practices – so long as they do not go against the Islamic Principles.
Wallahualam.

Dear, Siti Husnida;
It’s not the Muslim way to judge other people. I hope you realize it too.
enjoy yrself vv, have fun
Why is siti husnida still here? lol go away lah
Siti husnida, go away lah u dont belong here. Just curious, are u those that boycott mcd,coke, maxis as well? Lol. U obviously watch the hollywood movies cos thats how u got the idea of the bridal shower. Eh? Isnt it sinful to watch tv that u gotta watch your eyes from all those maksiat?
Aiyo K Siti ni. hehe.
I think Vivy should extend the invitation to K Siti ni kot to enlighten her what (x-rated) Bridal Shower is actually all about.
oh sorry! I meant NON X-rated!
I will have Part 2 when I get home. Part 2 will have strippers… CHICKEN STRIPPERS. #peopleneedtolightenup
Malays ALWAYS get confused between CULTURE and RELIGION. Those are different things. Open houses sampai satu bulan after Ramadhan is by no means Muslim culture either. Eid-il-fitri is just one day and yet for us it goes on and on and on. Only Malays do that. Buat ketupat, rendang, etc is CULTURAL but us Malay Muslims still do that. No such thing as saying bridal shower is a Christian thing, it’s just a get-together with no religious procedures attached.
Please, educate yourselves.
