Bridal shower/bachelorette party

Jade, on June 27, 2019 at 2:00 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 4
I’ll be getting married in September 2019! I have been to a bunch of bridal showers and I HATE them. I think they’re so boring and awkward. I don’t want to get all dressed up and have to be polite all afternoon. My mom has convinced me to have a bridal shower/“party”. We are planning on having it at a winery and the owner has told me I can set up a wine tasting for me and my guests! Then my plan was to head out on the town after for the bachelorette party portion. How do I word the invitation so that people don’t think of it as a shower in the traditional sense? It will be wine themed so I wanted to go off of that! Oh and I am not registered anywhere and don’t want gifts... so I wanted to say “bring $10 to enjoy the wine tasting and finger foods will be provided” ? Is this tacky?? I’m very laid back and we’re in a small town! Thanks!

    I think at that point it's not really a bridal shower so you could just say it's a bachelorette or party in general

    It's tacky to invite someone to a hosted event and then tell them that they have to pay for it, whoever is hosting (your mother?) should be responsible for the cost. Since you don't want a shower or gifts, I would just have her send out bachelorette party invitations.

    This!


    Totally agree. You cannot host something and tell people to bring money. That isn't fair. Whether or not you want or don't want a gift.

    I'm not sure I'd invite people to an event and ask them to pay. I'd just say "Bridal Wine Tasting" and say something at the bottom like "The bride doesn't have a registry, your presence is enough!"
