One of the best parts of the bridal shower is getting to toss out wedding trivia to your guests and see who's as smart as they think they are and who's going to be wearing a pointy yellow cap at the end of the night! Here are some fun wedding facts from The Knot that will make a great addition to your bridal shower games:
a) According to Greek culture, you should tuck a sugar cube into your glove to sweeten your union.
b) The British believe that a spider found in the wedding dress means good luck. (Might want to think twice before you tie the knot in Salisbury!)
c) Wednesday is considered to be the "best day" to marry across the pond, although Tuesday is for health and Monday is for wealth.
d) Ancient Romans studied pig entrails to decide when the luckiest time to marry would be.
e) Believe it or not, according to the Hindus it's actually good luck when it rains on your wedding day.
f) It's tradition for a Swedish bride puts a silver coin from her father and a gold coin from her mother in each shoe to make sure she and her husband never have to do without.
g) Egyptian women pinch the bride for good luck on her wedding day.
h) The reason you wear your engagement ring and your wedding band on the fourth finger of the left hand because it was once believed there was a vein in that finger that led directly to the heart.
i) Popular wedding bands in Victorian time weren't traditional gold bands. Instead, they preferred snake rings dotted with ruby eyes because the circle was believed to be a symbol of eternity.
j) Smelters in the United States transform seventeen tons of gold into wedding rings every year in the United States.
