Bachelorette Party

GINA, on June 14, 2020 at 9:35 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 15
Hi y’all!
My wedding was affected by COVID19 and so my fiancé and I decided to get legally married this year and have the big party next year.

Is it appropriate to still want the bridal and bachelorette party? I’m kind of bummed at the idea of not having them next year Smiley sad

    Absolutely!

    I think everyone will understand that things got a little mixed-up, calendar-wise. Go ahead and have fun.

    Yes! I’m doing the same thing. We’re getting married on Friday with just a small group and postponing the big celebration until next year. My mom still plans to throw my bridal shower. I didn’t originally want a bachelorette party, but now that I’m salty about the big celebration getting postponed, I’ve decided it’s necessary and everybody I’ve mentioned it to is super excited!

    Absolutely! You better celebrate you! Us 2020 brides are allowed to do whatever we want until all of our boxes are checked when it comes to our wedding in whatever order! We might be doing our bachelorette/bachelor trips next year after the wedding! My bridesmaids are making sure we do this trip, it was supposed to be epic but i wasnt it on it! So I have no clue!! LoL

    It is definitely fine for you to still have those parties. my hubby and i got married last september and had a very small ceremony and reception with only those closest to us. we are having our second wedding in 2021 as we always knew we wanted another, larger wedding to celebrate again. we are still having all of our parties! people will definitely understand - things are crazy and times are uncertain, so nothing is going as planned of according to schedule. you guys should still celebrate and do the things youve missed out on. go relax and have some fun Smiley smile

    If your friends volunteer to give you a shower or bachelorette, and want to schedule them around your public repeat of vows or reception date, rather than your civil wedding under public gathering restrictions, say yes! Why not! But if no one wants to do it, as may happen with a regular wedding, don't give a shower for yourself ( collecting a second gift in addition to a wedding gift, which is what a shower is, for yourself is rude.). But if you merely want to be sociable and celebrate with friends, there is no reason you cannot do that at any time you want. Just do not call it a shower. And if friends do not offer to host a bachelorette, there is no reason you cannot host a general evening out, provided you pay for everything for everyone. Or plan a group evening out, or group vacation, where everyone knows up front, no one is hosting a party. You are friends doing something just to celebrate your friendship. Each paying their own way, not treating you as guest of honor. Or else simply throw a party as a regular married couple. So many people act like any party that does not happen with the wedding is lost forever. But a marriage is supposed to be the start of your entertaining as a couple, not the beginning of hibernation and a long dry spell. So at least do that. And with no restrictions that attendees must be invited to your wedding. Post wedding you can invite anyone you want. Any time you want . And no obligatory, well you have to invite this one and that one.

    Yes, if your friends and family still want to host and participate in those parties and you would like to have them go for it.

    Yes, if your friends and/or family would still like to host these events for you, then it is completely fine!
