    Cutting the wedding shower! I feel like the bach party would be more fun.

    I would have cut the shower. While it was a lot of fun, this family is amazing, I find showers boring.

    My bach party was my two best friends coming to town and doing my favorite things then seeing one of my favorite artists in concert.

    This is a difficult one! I am looking forward to both! I think I would cut the Bach party since it’s just with a few of my friends. The bridal shower will be a celebration with all the ladies in my life! We did a smaller engagement dinner with just immediate family though. That was perfect!

    Plan right now... it could change because it is awhile off ... but the rent an airbnb downtown and start the party there with games and such and then go out for dinner, maybe a show and drinks and then back to the house for more of whatever. Just fun girls night in and out.

    Cut the shower! Any excuse to go have fun with your friends and celebrate getting married (the right way) I wouldn’t turn down!

    I'd skip and cut both and just have all my close family and friends go out to dinner and for a few drinks with my husband and I.

    We arent having an engagement party and cutting the shower out. we will most likely cut out the bach parties to since neither one of us really drink.

    I would def cut both. However, a good friend of mine offered to host a weekend bach party for me and another friend getting married next year. We're co-hosting 10 people for a weekend of wine tasting and hiking.

    My fiancée will be skipping the wedding shower. She doesn't really see the point, and feels awkward inviting her friends to yet another gathering where they're expected to give gifts.
