In my country (specially in Tashkent), every Ramadan Eid and Kurban Eid, a new bride (only the first year of her marriage) lays the table for everybody and welcomes everyone. Before the guests enter the bride bows 3-4 times and the guests wish her all their wishes. What is interesting is only females can visit the bride. 

Before  (7-8 years ago),  females (often young girls) unacquainted with that family could just go and visit if there is new bride, but nowadays only relatives and friends go to visit a bride!
