I know generally brides dont thfow their own bridal showers, but im just eondering what the general guidelines are for how far before the wedding you have uour bridal shower and bachelor/ette parties?

Im getting married October 6th of this year. And my maud of honour is having a baby in august so anything wedding related is out for august. I was thinking June would be a good time for the shower but everyone seems to think thats too soon.

    Whatever works for you. I'm an out of town (out of province) bride, so we had to make it work for whenever I came back to Ontario. I had an engagement party 8 months before we got married, and my bachelorette was 4 months before. I don't think there's a specific timeline, so I'd say do it when it works.

    I think it is whatever works for you.

    I'm getting married in July and we were talking about doing a bridal shower in March.

    I'm going totally non-traditional... due to out of town guests possibly making 2 trips, I'm doing my bachelorette & shower in September, and my wedding isn't until January. My MOH's wedding was in November, and we did her shower in August. Do it when you want, and what works for you.

    I also think giving people a few months between gift purchases, and time commitments, is nice too.

    My bridal party planned my shower and bachelorette. My shower was in June and my bach was in August. I got married in September and my only requirement I gave them when planning was that I didn't want any events in the wedding month so I could spend the month leading up to it in full-on planning mode.

    I think knowing that you have a big life event to work around with your MOH, an earlier shower would be fine. After the baby comes, she'll probably be busy and it will be nice to have the pre-wedding festivities off her plate.

    I think June or July is fine. I didn't have a bridal shower but I did have a bachelorette the weekend before the wedding.

    I'm planning my own bridal shower. I have help from my brother's GF and my MOH but my family is useless for wedding stuff. We even had to plan our own engagement party.

    That being said, I'm hosting the bridal shower two months before and the bachelorette is the weekend before the wedding.

    I believe they’re held 2-4 months before the wedding so June would be fine!

    I think generally they’re held within a month of the wedding but who cares what everyone else does, host your shower whenever it works best for you!

    I don't think it's too early. It's four months ahead, I would say that's great timing. I'm getting married in July and we had a shower earlier this month.
