When is too early? Shower date?

Question

My MOH lives in FL and I live in MA. She is coming for a visit in the fall/winter but the wedding isn't till 6/27. Is it too early for a shower? If so, I'd have to do it without her own my own!

Answer 1

I'd say it's too early.  My MOH wasn't there for mine.  I bought my invites and filled one out.  She copied it onto the others and sent them to the people on the list I gave her.  That's all she did!  But you can try to get help from your bridesmaids or family.  You don't want to have your shower too early bc you have to invite everyone from the shower to the wedding.. since they got you gifts.. And you'd be suprised how many peolpe you won't want to invite a year later.  My 8 bridesmaids would have been widdled down even!  So wait.  Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You do not throw yourself a shower. If she wants to throw you one, great. I don't know about timing. What I do know is that if the MOH doesn't want to and no one else offers, you just have no shower. It is not required, it is something nice a friend does for you if they are able to. If you have no shower, people may give more generously at the wedding instead of dividing the gift budget between the shower and wedding gift.

ADD: I would say if you don't have the guest list worked out its too early, since you should only be inviting people to the shower that will be invited to the wedding.

Answer 3

You should not be planning your own bridal shower. A wedding shower  should be done about 6-4 months before the wedding date. But if you want to do it early feel free.

Answer 4

No not  if that's the most convientent date for you, however you could always have 2.... like the early one u can call it ur bridal shower and the later one down the road that can be your crazy bacholerette party : ) Best Of luck and crongrats :))
