No Bridal Shower?

Not having a bridal party so I am assuming I am not having one. I am perfectly OK with this. If people want to send me gifts, they can use the registry and we can avoid the awkward banter and extreme estrogen that seem to go along with showers.

I won't be having one. Honestly, it would be nice but no one has offered and I do not have a wedding party. Our wedding is going to be very bohemian and simple. Only 16 guest.

I didn't have one because we already have a place of our own which we recently purchased and moved into. I have everything I need. At first the closest family members were like ok why not but they understand now. My fiancé told me that his coworker got 26 sets of plates as gifts.... WHY FOR WHAT?! No thanks! Who wants to be running back to the store to return that?

I'm skipping it. I have zero desire to sit in a room full of women and play games that I find not fun or entertaining. Also skipping the bachelorette part and I don't feel like I'm "missing out" on anything.

My MOH and BM's wanted to throw me one a d at first I was all for it and the more I thought about it being my second wedding I felt so guilty having one so I told them not to worry about it.

I'm not having one. FH and I already live together and have what we need and what we don't have we can buy. We weren't interested in having a party for the sake of getting presents.

We aren't having one. I knew early on I wouldn't be but I'm okay with that. I actually don't want one. The games and opening gifts in front of a bunch of people just seems awkward.

Yes! People wanted to throw one but I didn't want one. Soooo awkward to have two events where I'll be getting presents. The wedding is enough.

Also, I don't think it's rude to tell someone you don't want a bridal shower. Just like if it was your birthday and a friend or relative offered to host a birthday party for you, I think you can say thank you but you don't want one rather than having to accept it

Not having one. MoH asked if I would like one, but FH and I don't live near any friends/family. It's just easier not having one.

I'm having one that my BP is throwing one. Can you drop a subtle line and see what the reaction is like?

Who knows, maybe you'll have a surprise! I do understand though, I would be bummed out if I didn't get one even though I know it's not important in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not having one. I don't need anything and so I think it'd be gift grabby having one when I don't need anything!

If we're being honest here....I'd be bummed for sure if i didn't get one. Not because of the gifts, however gifts are always nice. But its a day about celebrating you & your upcoming union! Its just so nice to get together with the people are most important to you!

I'm not having a bridal shower. a lot of things have happened with my side of the family and it would just be horribly awkward since we aren't speaking. I would love to have one though if I wasn't going through all these trials.

I didnt have one, i didnt want one. We've lived together for a number of years and didn't need more clutter.

I didn't want one but my aunt was adamant. My BM also offered to host one and I told her no. I just don't think they are fun or enjoyable. The gift opening is soooo boring. Not only for guests but I'm sure I'll be bored opening gifts. I'm going to do my best to be over the moon excited about my new spatulas or sheet set. Lol!! Hopefully they keep the mimosas flowing.

I don't want one. But one of my BMs and very close friend is one of those people who shows their love by hosting things like this. I don't want to upset her (we work together now too and I assured her I would kill her in her sleep if she threw me one at work) so we compromised and I agreed to let her throw me a shower, begrudgingly. But I know it will make her ridiculously happy. That also means I need a registry, which I also didn't want. So I'm going to look for a few items I can add to one. Sigh.

I don't want one so I definitely wont be having one. I honestly really don't want a bachelorette party either. But I'm sucking it up for my bridal party who wants to treat me to a fun night out.

I'm not having one. My family and my wedding party are out of state.

MOH offered but I just didn't feel like it was necessary and it was going to require a special trip home/extra travel expenses. It wasn't a big deal to me.

I'm not having one. I don't have family or a lot of close friends where I live, so that doesn't make much sense. My mom offered to have one for me with her friends, but they're on the opposite coast and they aren't invited to the wedding, so I told her it wasn't necessary.

I didn't have one!
