Bridal Shower

View quoted message

YAY! How was your shower? That's so nice that it was a surprise party!

UPDATE 😍 My mom organizes everything and everyone is pitching it to make it wonderful! It’s a surprise! And it is today!!! 🥰 feel so loved.

Your bridesmaids or more specifically the MOH typically plan a shower for you. If no mention has been made, i would have a 1-on-1 with your girls and let them know where you are with everything, and what you had hoped for, to make life a little easier for you and your fiance.

View quoted message I know how you feel, it's amazing how generous people are but you don't really realize it till it's all about you. I for real cried for 3 days after my baby shower bc i really was "showered" with gifts.

We have the same wedding date!
My shower is combined with my bachelorette.. it's a "bridal party" they are calling it lol I live in BC and the wedding is in Ontario so with the limited time I can't have two parties. Talk to your family and friends and maybe they are planning something.

My shower was about 2 months before the wedding! I know the feeling about gifts... I'm so weird about gifts already that I honestly felt bad when people would ask about the registry! What I did instead was ask people to bring a bottle of wine to add to my collection! It turned out AMAZING! I ended up with 24 DIFFERENT bottles of wine and now my wine collection is incredible! SO nice to go home and crack a new one open haha!

It is normal, sometimes people have a month or so in advance too as other dates done work. At this point I would say it would be too late for them to get invites and mail them/people respond. I would ask your wedding party incase there is something planned and they forgot to tell you

It is normal yes.. but someone should have planned one.. if your wedding is in June, I think it's probably too late now. Someone would have to plan one, invite all the guests and wait for them to RSVP.. doesn't really give anyone enough notice to plan unless your wedding is near the end of june and you can put it out there now for the beginning of june.. then you give people about a month to make plans to come.

First I would ask your bridesmaids just in case they actually are planning a surprise one (unlikely, I know - but better safe than sorry).

Then, I would maybe hand out tasks to them. Unfortunately when it comes to cost I would say that you would be the one to pay unless they offer. Don't forget to include your FMIL though!!! She may be a big help seeing as how your Mom has already done so much!

View quoted message Do I plan it myself lol thank you for the information 😁😁😁😁

That's a perfect way to mention it without being "PLAN ME A SHOWER!!" lol

It is running late though so it would have to be thrown together really fast which would mean the best way to invite would be online or through something like FaceBook. (My FH's cousin invited us to her wedding via FB so don't over think it.)

List of what needs to be done:

Venue - can it be held at somebodies house? If not, start calling places asap.

Invites - best way would be online or through social media like FB

Food - See about making sandwiches or getting some catering of some

Games - PINTEREST!!

Do you have any bridesmaids that you could ask but say something like "are you guys having a surprise shower for me?" Because i thought it would have happened already.
