Courthouse ceremony

If you’re not planning to host people for the wedding, you won’t have anyone to invite to the shower. Shower guests are wedding guests. It doesn’t have to be a traditional wedding, but you can still treat them to dinner after the courthouse ceremony.

I agree with Caytlyn that those types of parties go with a wedding. If you want those traditional parties, you can schedule them to take place before the reception next year, when you plan to host most of your people.

I personally see no issue with still wanting a bachelorette or shower. If people want to host them for you, then go for it

I don’t think it’s taboo to still want one. has your mother, sister aunt or friend mentioned anything to you if you wanted one.

I’m stil having a bachelorette party and we are having a courthouse wedding . A Bachelorette party to me is celebrating your last days of being a single woman so I wouldn’t want t wait until a year after I’m married to do that . That’s just me however the bridal shower “could “ wait bc that’s more of an opportunity for people to celebrate your public Union . Regardless like someone else says if someone wants to throw you one and people want to come celebrate you BEFORE you officially become a wife I don’t see anything wrong with it . I know there are etiquette rules but sometimes you maybe surprised on what people will do for you even though you’re not really doing anything for them .
