Bridal Shower vs. Wedding Shower??

Jenni, on September 28, 2019 at 11:13 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 4
So I have 2 Bridal showers in October with one being hosted by the ladies at my church and one being hosted by my Aunt and Grandma. My Fiance's sister would like to throw me a shower as well and I am just wondering what are your thought processes between having just a Bridal shower or having a Wedding shower?

    We had two couples showers instead of a bridal shower. The majority of our friends are married so we wanted everyone to join versus just the women. I think as long as the guest lists aren’t overlapping it’s fine.

    I agree with PP in that if the lists don't overlap it's good

    As long as everyone is invited to just one of the showers, it is great. I had multiple small showers, different groups of people, and it was nice to have the smaller group. Held in far apart locations, the showers varied greatly by the host and guests , hometown and family friends all generations at one, my peers school and work, etc. Each group had a theme. One from sisters &SIL and same age cousins very personal things for me were included. A neighbors and friends one from then home all household things, and groom invited, was coed but not couples. . . . Separate MIL shower included FI, and was a welcome to the family type. Wedding not bridal shower. Most people I did not know, bigger at 35 women of the family was a just 5 larger gifts definitely for both of us, each from a group of people, 12 of groom's sister's and SIL, his 8 aunts and some teenagers, and my bridesmaids. One of the nicer things about some smaller ( 12-15) of people I was very close to, and the larger one of family I did not know of groom's, was the MIL group each gave smaller contributions that added up to a few truly joint interest items, appropriate for FI family . In one larger Bridal shower, people who knew me would have given much bigger gifts individually, and made the small gifts of FI family who did not know my, look bad. But with the separation, all the small contributions resulting in just 5 gifts, meant short gift opening but much talk time, and everyone making a big deal about FI. Which was nice, truly a wedding not bridal shower . But in little groups showers, for me .

    This is so sweet of them!

    I agree with the PPs! As long as your guest lists are not overlapping, you can totally have multiple showers Smiley smile
