Bridal shower or not for destination wedding

My cousin got married in Mexico... 42 people went. She still had a Bridal Shower at home a few months before. No one thought it was in poor taste... actually I think they enjoyed having something to be a part of for the wedding, as most of them weren't going to attend.

It's up to you. But honestly, as long as the invitation is open to everyone to travel if they wanted/we able to... you can definitely have a shower.

And if you're hosting a reception later anyways, they still have a party to go to you're hosting...

I would say feel free to if you want one.

I would skip it. My cousin had an unconventional wedding ceremony, so when they had their reception 4 months later there was no wedding party.

If I was doing a destination wedding I would probably ask my bridal party to skip it because guests have to spend so much money already just to attend the wedding itself.

I would sit down and price out exactly what guests are going to pay to come to the wedding (flights, hotels, gas, food, etc). It's common for it to costs guests $**** or more to go to them so I would not want to ask them to spend even more on attending a shower.

Bridal shower in town is a good idea since your family and friends will not want to travel with more gifts to the destination wedding country.

I do agree with having a welcome dinner at the resort to have the time with them all.

Yes I agree with stephanie! Great way to include those who cant make it to your wedding

I think its fine to have one! A way to include more people on the celebration who wouldn't be going to the actual wedding!

Instead of wedding shower in doing welcome party at the resort most of my family and friends are not close to us. However they are gone be with us at Punta Cana
