Bridal Shower Woes

Hi all, I need opinions on the bridal shower/bachelorette party. I originally planned to have my bachelorette party and bridal shower the same weekend (labor day weekend). But by doing it this way, a lot of family would not be able to attend the shower. I am contemplating having the bachelorette weekend on Labor Day still, but having a bridal shower brunch the morning before wedding so my family can attend. I have family and friends all over, so me traveling for to them for a shower would also not work because we are so spread out. Are there any brides who did a bridal brunch and were still able to have the rehearsal/rehearsal dinner the same day? I am getting married on a Friday, so the shower and everything would be on a Thursday. Help!?

    I have no direct experience with this scenario, but it sounds like it would be to much immediately before the wedding. In my opinion, you should have the shower 6-8 weeks before the wedding (which is customary) and whomever can come, will come. This is perfectly normal for spread out friends and families.

    Thank you. I just know family wouldn’t be able to come the shower and wedding. I’m thinking about skipping the shower and just having the bachelorette party.

    Out of town guests typically don't get invited to the shower. I think having a bridal shower the day before the wedding may be really stressful for everyone. There's so many little details to get done that day, another event may be asking a lot of you (and your guests).

    I feel like you can make you own rules. Since your family is all over I don't see why you couldn't pull it off for the day before as long as you plan it well and let people know. With my mom's side of the family this is something we'd do. Add it in the details part of your invitations for those that you want to attend the brunch.
