Bridal Shower or Not?

My bridesmaids threw me a shower and it was great...I don't think there are any con's to a shower

We are having a coed shower this weekend! My bridesmaids are throwing it. No cons so far. We have already been receiving gifts since they sent out the invite a month ago.

My FMIL threw me a shower. I had a great time we got a lot of the upgrades off our registry and I met people from FHs side that they are all close with but I had yet to meet.
Only “con” for me would be that the 3 women who hosted with my FMIL didn’t want to listen to her about food so all I ate was a cupcake,water, and table nuts. And I don’t love being the center of attention but it was special to see people who care about me together so I got over it and rather quickly too. Although opening in front of others was a bit awkward it’s the point of a shower and I was able to thank people in person rather than just in the thank you note.

I don't think there are cons for Bridal showers.
I didn't have a Bridal shower, but I'm sure if I had it would have been fun .

A family friend told my mom she wants to throw me a "lingerie shower" so I'm gonna set her up with my MOH and am pretty excited for it. I can't really think of any cons of having a shower

I didn’t have a shower because it never interested me personally but the ones I’ve gone to have always been fun.

I don’t think there can be cons of a bridal shower. If someone wants to throw you one I would let them and enjoy it!! My MOH (my sister) is throwing me one and I can’t wait

FH's great aunt is throwing us a Couple's Shower cocktail party style at a house turned restaurant mid-August for our October wedding. I didn't want a regular shower; I wanted FH to be involved plus I have a mix of male and female friends. Very excited.

My MOH and FMIL are throwing me one.. at first I was not going to do it, but decided to and am happy I did. I am so excited. It is next weekend!

I have a con (sort of):
my FMIL wanted to throw me a shower and so did my MOH. I made a suggestion that they could combine to make the financial side of it work better. They agreed. Then my FMIL never brought it up again. She knows the date she knows the overall theme, location, all that jazz but has never offered to help my MOH. This meant my MOH got stuck with the entire thing- and more people. That was NOT my intention AT ALL. My FMIL is already paying for most of the reception as well as the rehersal dinner so I have not felt comfortable to ask her about covering any costs (even though that was the original plan). SO FH and I offered to pay for the venue rental (had to rent a venue to fit the extra people). That was a 200$ expense we weren’t planning on but it was the only way I felt it would be fair to my MOH.

Other than that mistake on my end, I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait.

My mom and bridal party are throwing me one, it's at the end of April. I'm really excited to see my family, my fiance's family and my friends all together. My fiance and I have lived together for 2 years and there's a lot we still want for our home so we registered for those things, and the registry shows almost everything has been purchased, so it's also exciting that we'll have the things we've wanted for so long. Ultimately, I don't think there are any cons, it's always great to spend time with family and friends. Except being the center of attention is a little nerve wracking

I asked my MOH not to throw me one, because most of my friends are very low income and I didn't want to add in another gift giving occasion.

She is throwing a cake and tea get together instead with no gifts, this Sunday

I only had a bachelorette party, which was cool. No bridal shower for me and I didn't feel like I was missing anything.
