Belated Bridal Shower?

Is having a belated bridal and/or lingerie shower tacky? We are having a private ceremony in April with our immediate family and best friends, and a big reception in June to celebrate with everyone else.

Because many of my friends would not be able to attend a pre-wedding bridal/lingerie shower due to other commitments, my MOH was considering hosting it after the ceremony but before the reception.

Does that seem gift-grabby? Or is it appropriate considering the situation? Thanks in advance!

I would see it as gift grabby. Showers and bachelorette parties are for brides to be, not married women.

Not really. I've gone to ones after a wedding when they've eloped or had a destination wedding not everyone could go too. I also have been to a lingerie shower, which was a lot of fun

My FMIL is planning on having me one after we’re married when we go to his hometown because many of their family & friends won’t be able to make the wedding & in our cultural we really like to celebrate marriages, so it’s less about gifts & more about celebrating eachother!

If you're having it before the big reception in June, I think it's fine.

I personally think it's okay as long as it's before the reception.

I think it's complete okay and appropriate.
We are Eloping but before we decided to we didn't want any parties (bachelor party, bacheloorte, shower, etc). My family kind of forced it on me, which is okay, it's a nice gesture and very kind of them.
It was scheduled for Feb. our Elopement is in April. My mom got sick (she's disabled and sometimes is down for the count for a few days at a time) and had to cancel it. It's now been rescheduled to May. Everyone is very understanding though, and I've tried telling her she doesn't have to do it, but it means a lot to her. Best Mom Ever!
