Hi all. I have been searching for themes and I need help.
I am the matron of honor for my best friend getting married in June. She also happens to be pregnant and due in early July. Like a week and a half after her wedding. With schedules as hectic as they are, her and I agreed to combine her bridal shower with her baby shower. Luckily her baby is a girl, so I was thinking pink for a theme but I am not sure. How does one combine these 2 parties? What type of theme do you go with? Do you even do a theme?

Thanks

I agree with this. Nothing wrong with celebrating!

Why not do the bridal shower now and a sip and see when the baby comes? A spokesman and see is where everyone comes over to sip on wine and see the baby. I'm sorry but I would think the person only wanted gifts and was tacky if they had a baby shower for baby #5.
That being said if you insist on doing them both together why not call it a "bride and bump brunch"

Maybe it's his first child and his family would want to celebrate.

A shower isn't about celebrating. It's about gifts. You can have a party to celebrate without it being a shower,

Here's my question about all this; I was recently invited to a combo wedding/baby shower. I would say 90% of the women there were invited to the wedding. I was one of the 10% not invited to the wedding but was invited to this combo shower. I wasn't really thinking anything about it but while there, most of the conversation was about how everyone was so excited for the wedding in a couple of weeks. When I got home I googled whether it was appropriate to invite people to a wedding shower but not to the wedding itself. The resounding answer was 'NO'. I realized I felt very hurt about not being invited to the wedding itself. Should I be? They did not have a bridal registry, per se, just that if you wanted to contribute towards their honeymoon, you could, since they are in their 30s and don't need much for a home. Most came with baby gifts so it felt a bit more like a baby shower but there was so much wedding talk. Anyway, love to hear anyone's thoughts on this.
