When to have Bridal Shower/bachelorette Party?

A couple weeks to a month or so it typically the norm from what I've seen. Mine will probably be almost two months before. The wedding is September 29th and my MOH said she is looking at the beginning of August for my bach party.

My wedding is September 2nd and the bridal shower/bachelorette is in June 16th. We are doing ours a little earlier because we had to not only work around the venue's schedule but we also have a friend getting married the first week of August and I didn't want my bridal shower too close to her wedding (there's a lot of cross over between our two weddings). Otherwise we probably would have gone with mid July.

My wedding is august 11 and I will be having my Bach party august 3-5. My cousin is coming from another country so we are waiting for her to arrive

My shower will be two weeks or a month before my wedding

I'm getting married 9/8/18, my shower will be 6/23 (my Mom's planning and wanted to get it in before the summer season really starts, we are in Northern New England so that's about when schools get out). My Bach will be July 27-29, maybe a little early but it's a special weekend date for me and my bridesmaids. We had one of my bridesmaid's bach the same week last year and another one the year before so they decided to keep it going : ) Hoping to make it an official yearly girls weekend starting in 2019 since we will all be married haha.

Whenever is most convenient for the host (your MOH I presume) is acceptable. Showers/bachelorettes are generally held 1-2 months prior to your wedding.

Just to give you an idea - My wedding is July 28th, but my shower is April 21st. It's three months in advance so that we wouldn't run into graduation parties and prime wedding season.

Talk about her availability and see what makes sense for the both of you. Typically a month or two prior is normal.

My wedding is October 20 and shower will be July 21 because one of my daughters’ bday is in August and the other is September (which will be a big one cause sweet 16), so we wanted them to be somewhat spread out. Not sure on Bach party yet but most likely closer to the wedding.

Usually they're within 2-3 months of the wedding. Trying to do everything in the same weekend sounds a little too ambitious to me, tbh.

My wedding was 10/7/16, shower 9/11/16, bach 8/6/16. Typically people do the shower first, then the bach closer to the wedding, but that was just the way things worked best for those involved in planning, and it didn't matter to me one way or the other.

I was my MOH's, MOH lol. And I flew to Iowa for the weekend and she had her shower and bachelorette party the same weekend so I could attend both. It worked out pretty smoothly and I would like to do the same for her.

Honestly whatever works best for everyone. I know the typical is within 3 months but I actually had my shower in November due to a number of reasons (my wedding is April). But my Bach is in March.

I think the norm is one to two months before your wedding

My bacherlorette party is set for the weekend before the wedding.

We threw my friend's shower a month before and had her bach a week before. My friends have already set my bach for a month before the wedding, but nothing is set up for a shower yet.

From my understanding, these parties usually happen in the month or two before the wedding. If your MOH is planning both the same weekend, just make sure she doesn't get overwhelmed. It is ambitious. Good luck!
