Bridal Shower

Glad everything worked out for you!!! I would have said just ask your MOH and plan it and then let her be the one to "host" it even though u planned it all out! I would do that for sure since I'm a planny person too haha!!

Thanks Ladies!! I went ahead and started planning! Once I did my MOH and Bridemaid jumped on board and are helping out!

I don't think its tacky at all! I agree go for it! It will be beautiful and fun ! And luckily your bridesmaid can help with DIY!

GO for it! I don't see any problem in planning something for yourself if others cannot help you.

Go for it and plan your shower alot of people do. Its not tacky at all and you get exactly what you want.

I say go for it! I wouldn’t think twice about someone hosting their own bridal shower. Wouldn’t make a bit of difference to me as a guest.

Because a Bridal Shower is an event that is literally about showering you with gifts, I would feel uncomfortable planning one for myself and think it might come off a little entitled to do so. HOWEVER, if you just want the pre-wedding party I don't see anything wrong with hosting a Bridal Tea or Luncheon. Chances are, guests would likely bring a small gift to something like that, regardless of whether gifts are mentioned at all, but you won't come off as gift grabby by simply inviting a group of ladies out for high tea or a luncheon to celebrate your upcoming nuptials.

I planned my own shower and bachelorette. My MOH has only been to 1 wedding before, so she didn’t really know what she was supposed to do. My one bridesmaid got married 6 weeks before us, so she was busy with her own wedding. And my other bridesmaid has 2 kids under 2 and lives almost 2 hours away. So, I just decided that I would plan my own parties. And they both turned out great!

I would make sure something is not being done as a surprise just in case... you definitely deserve a Shower and I think it would be nice to plan what you'd like especially if you are a planner!

It seems you don't have your wedding party nearby which makes it harder to plan with them. You planning it easier and having it your way.

Plan your shower. I think it's considerate that you aren't making your friend travel too much. I've had to plan a lot of things without my bridesmaids and it's going good

I see no problem with that! I have only been invited to a few but for all I know - the bride to be could have been the one to plan it. The only thing that would tell me otherwise is when the bride thanks those who put it together. In reality if you got the ball rolling and then divvy out the tasks you could say thanks to them for pulling this off and nobody would be the wiser.

If that’s what you want I would do it! I think it would be nice if even just one of your ladies helped out with the invitations part. Might be a little awkward inviting people to your own shower? but you could do the planning and they could send them out or just start a Facebook event?
