Joint Bridal Shower

Hey everyone! So one of my bestfriends and I recently got engaged about 5 months apart and it turns out we are most likely to have weddings that are only 2-3 months apart. We are both in eachother's bridal party along with two other mutual friends, but we will also both be having other bridesmaids from different friend groups as well. There was talks of maybe throwing a joint bridal shower the two of us. We were thinking of asking both our moms (who are close friends & raised us as if we were all family) if they would like to co-host our joint bridal shower. I know that this is very non-traditional, but thought this would be a great opportunity for our moms to be involved in our wedding planning processes. It would also cut one expense for our two mutual bridesmaids. Looking for thoughts, opinions, & suggestions on how this might work out or not...

    Hmm I can’t really see a downside to it... but maybe it might be awkward for guests who don’t know the other bride and the guests who don’t know you. Will they feel obligated to bring gifts for both and could that possibly generate issues/problems.

    If most of your guest lists overlap and get along then I think this could be fun. But I agree with PP that it might be awkward for guests that only know 1 of you. Especially when it comes to opening gifts, that could take quite a while if you’re both opening all of your gifts (which for some guests is what they want to see).
    You could also do a small joint shower with all mutual friends and then separate ones for family.

    Sounds like a neat idea but only if all of your guests overlap. If there will be some guests that are only invited to one of the weddings, then I'd probably scrap the idea, because that would be awkward for them.

    I have to agree with PPs. While it sounds nice and will cut the cost of parties for the two of you, guests that are not going to both of your weddings would feel obligated to buy BOTH of you gifts, even if they don’t know one of you. I personally would decline an invitation to a joint bridal shower like this. I would not want to feel obligated to spend money on someone I don’t know.

    This. As long as your shower guests are invited to both weddings I think that’s fine!
