PLEASE HELP! I don't know what to do. I am having a destination wedding in Belize this August (2019). Only some friends and family will be attending, but I have reassured my extended family that I will be having a full-blown wedding reception in September/October when we get back with about 70 guests. My family and friends are extremely excited for the reception and most did not have an interest in attending the destination wedding. For many many personal reasons, I have not set a date for the "in-town" reception, but I am determined to have one and WILL be having one come hell or high water. My MOH and family really really want to throw me a bridal shower, which I am totally okay with. The only thing is that I feel a little funny having a bridal shower without even having sent out invitations for the reception here. Is it weird to have a bridal shower without setting the date for the reception? Or is it even weirder to wait until after we get back from the destination wedding to have one before the reception? I need help trying to navigate what to do.
Keep in mind, everything about this wedding, me, and my fiance are so not very strict with typical traditions. That ship has kind of sailed when we never locked down a reception date.
