Bachelorette Party/Bridal Shower 6 Months in Advance?

There are no rules. So long as you're available and not planning the party, have at it.

It's a little unconventional, but if the opportunity is there I'd say go for it!

I had mine early for weather reasons. Go for it!

Not a problem at all! I've seen them done around this time frame. My only request for mine is that it's in late May/June so one of my closest friends can attend before moving out of the country in July. My wedding is Dec 1! She plans on attending the wedding, and it would really mean a lot to both of us if she could be there.

That's what we were going to do for my original date (12/1/18). Everyone was okay with it and no one thought it was too early

I think that's fine! I'm sure everyone will appreciate use of the timeshare

If that's what works best for you guys, then go for it! It sounds like a lot of fun! I did mine 3 months early!

My bachelorette trip was at the 5 month mark. And I'm so glad it was. Now as my weddings fast approaching I'm glad that's checked off the list!

We did ours four months early due to scheduling and holidays coming up. Go for it! There is not a set rule on when you should have your bachelorette or bridal shower. Whenever is convenient that you can have most of your favorite people with you to enjoy it should be all that matters! I'd hate to say no let's not do it til my wedding is closer and then miss out on most of your friends/family not being able to make it when they can now instead.

My friend had a DW in France (she lived in DC at the time). Her friends were spread all over the U.S. Her MOH lived in L.A. and hosted the bridal shower/bachelorette party at her house in L.A. six months before my friend’s wedding. It was perfectly fine. I did not think it seemed early just because most people were going to have to travel wherever the shower/bachelorette was held, and it would have been difficult for people to attend both if it had been closer to the wedding. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go to the wedding, but was glad I could make it to the pre-wedding event.

I'm having my designation bachelorette in New Orleans, LA six months prior to my wedding due to seasonal weather (in New Orleans).

Since I wanted something beachy and summery as a counterpoint to my December wedding, my wedding party threw me a bachelorette in the Hamptons in July. It's completely fine--and as others have mentioned--for those who have to travel, time gaps between parties can help with budgeting.
