Skip bachelorette party and bridal shower?

I've been debating on whether to forego a bachelorette party and bridal shower. My in-laws live on the opposite side of the state, half of my friends live in another state. I just think that's way too much money for them to come for a party, then return later on for the wedding. My sister (matron of honor) and one of my bridesmaids that live local suggested we still have some sort of bachelorette party even if it's a few drinks and karaoke (my fav!). But then I feel bad that my other bride tribe members will feel left out. Anoyher thought for the bridal shower is doing something super simple like meeting at a restaurant halfway between us and in-laws (2 hour drive), and just have a little get together. Thoughts?

    If someone is offering to host, it's totally fine to still have these events. I would still invite the entire bridal party, but even if you were having it locally, that doesn't mean that everyone would be able to attend.

    We are not having parties. Our wedding is mostly DIY so we will be getting decorations set and finalized and preparing the food but in separate room

    Have you thought about doing them on the same day? Shower during the day and bach party at night. It *could* make sense if you can pinpoint a feasible location.

    That's a good suggestion, just need to find the right location.

    One of my bridesmaids suggest that I go ahead and do something local, then Skype for the ones missing.

    We are doing most things dot as well. We were talking that if we dis have a party that it be a few weeks to a month prior to the wedding. I'll have so much to do the night before the wedding, I don't want to forget something.
