Bridal Shower and Couple’s Co-ed Shower?

Seerbride, on July 11, 2021 at 8:49 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 7
Trying to get a feel for it this is weird. My family (FMIL) is throwing us a Couples Co-Ed shower. Love it. But it’s mostly my fiancé’s friends, his family and my family and I’m having my two BMs and 2 other friends. This is out of town BTW, and I’m totally fine that it’s more centered towards his group.


My MOH noticed the guest list and offered to throw me a local Bridal Shower for more of my friends and coworkers not invited to the Co-Ed shower. She said she’d be honored to. Love her. But just wondering, is this a little attention-grabby and gift grabby? The only overlapping guests would be my BMs and those other two friends. How would I not awkwardly tell all of them I don’t in anyway expect two gifts, I just want to celebrate with them?
Honestly, I would kind of love an afternoon of just the girls so I’m pretty excited she offered. My family would not attend this one, just friends.

    Hmm usually coworkers will host their own shower for you so maid of honor doesn’t need to host them unless she is a coworker. But she can absolutely host one for other local guests who will be attending the wedding. It is very common to have multiple showers with different social groups. It’s not gift grabby or attention seeking at all. If you were hosting your own shower, as many brides try to do these days, that would be gift grabby.


    You don’t need to say anything to bridesmaids about gifts because they are aware of their financial situations. Just graciously accept whatever they offer.

    My MOH is friends with several of coworkers, she used to work at our business, so that’s why we’re including co workers on the guest list, they know her so I think they’ll feel comfortable with it. Thanks!

    That’s perfectly fine! I think it’s really nice she offered to do that. I would just flat out tell the other two girls that you’d love to have them there if they’re available. I wouldn’t even mention the gifts because they may just not bring one to the second one or may get you two smaller gifts - or none! I don’t think that needs to be brought up just leave the invites up to the host. Have fun!

    Definitely not attention or gift grabby at all! So nice of her to offer to do this. I’d just tell the couple overlapping friends you hope to celebrate twice with them! I don’t think you need to bring up gifts or that they’ll feel compelled to gift twice, but if you are really worried, you can have your MOH mention it, either when she invites them or when they RSVP! Enjoy the celebrations 🥰
