Bridal shower this year or next?

I would wait too. it sounds like in terms of your schedule you've got time to wait for that.

Is someone offering to throw this for you?

I'd agree with PPs--I think you should at least wait a month or two in order to make a more informed decision on suggesting dates.

25 is a good crowd for a bridal shower, but I agree with those who say wait. You've got lots of time, and if you wait a little, you'll know how safe a small gathering could be.

I would recommend an outdoor one, though, just to be on the safe side, if that's an option at all.

Hi Rose! I'd definitely reach out to your guests as well and gauge their comfort level. Would they feel safe attending? Would they be uncomfortable?

Realistically there will probably still be some form of social distancing guidelines in place, so I'd think through some ways that you can adapt the celebration or postpone a little while longer!
