Anyone else NOT doing a bridal shower and/or engagement party?

@ Lil Bit...Awe that's really sweet of your daughter!!

I think MOH is scheduling a bridal shower but we didn't do an enagement party, mostly because rigtht after we got engaged we went wine tasting in Paso with a bunch of couples and celebrated so much there that we felt silly celebrating again with much of the same group.

If they want a shower then, uh, they get to throw it? It isn't something you decide to throw yourself.

That said, I'm not having either. Too late for an engagement party. one of my bridesmaids said, "I guess we should throw you a shower..." but I told her I don't want one. Which is true! I don't want to sit at a party and have people watch me open presents! She'll plan a kickass bachelorette party, though!

We skipped the engagement party as we announced our engagement just before fiances sisters wedding and by the time all that hubbub had died down it seemed silly.

I'm from the UK and bridal showers aren't something I've grown up with. I have no idea what to expect, but my fiance's family is throwing me one next month which I'm really touched by. I'm just seeing it as a day to spend with the in-laws.

I've never felt comfortable asking for gifts from anyone and people are already doing so much for our wedding that it would feel weird asking for more.

Skipping both

No Engagement party, no bridal shower and our invitations request no gifts. It's a second marriage for each of us and to us it's all about the celebration of our love with our family and friends. Our reception includes a dinner buffet a dance, and adult beverages, so that's our party! We just really want everyone to come and have a great time.

We had an engagement party but it was more like Danie's family meet Jon's family and everyone meet the bridal party. We only invited the bridal party, our kids, our parents, grandparents, my sister, aunts and uncles. Im not planning a bridal shower so I doubt I will have one.

Skipped the e-party because once we finalized the plans, we realized the wedding was so close thus no point. as for the bridal shower, I have know idea... isn't that supposed to be a surprise? When does that usually happen anyway?

No engagement party, but I will probably have a bridal shower closer to the wedding...my mom has asked for a guest list, so I'm assuming that's what that was for lol

We did not have an engagement party, no one really mentioned it to us, besides my FMIL but she pretty much was just annoyed we are getting married, and "not doing things right" with the whole engagement.. because we didnt want a party, or to put our names in the paper. neither thing were a big deal to us.

I am having a bridal shower only because my MOH, my sister is throwing me one. she says she wants to be able to do the things i dont want at the wedding that she wants haha! FH will have a batchelor party, Im not one going out to clubs or anything, so I will probably do a spa night at home or something that night.
