Anyone not get a bridal shower, just paranoid?

mary, on August 10, 2019 at 3:48 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 12
Just to clarify, I would NEVER ask for or throw my own bridal shower. I am just an extremely self conscious person. I know no one is obligated, but every bride I have ever known has gotten one. Its not about the gifts or the party. I would feel like there was something wrong w/me, that I'm such a terrible person that no one wants to spend time w/me. This might be just a little ridiculous, but I'd be resentful if my sibling's future bride got a bridal shower and I never did. I guess I'd feel less loved and important. Thoughts?

    Just to add, I would like a total loser if no one planned one.

    You have 16 months until your wedding...chill out. You’re correct that no one is obligated to throw you a shower. When the time comes to start considering one (literally a year away) if no one mentions it, try to think of other possible reasons; maybe your friends aren’t big planners, maybe they’re busy for the holidays, etc. instead of “I’m a loser and no one likes me.”

    I get where you're coming from. It's pretty typical to have a shower and I'd be sad if we didn't have one too. Good thing for both of us it's well into the future so we don't have to worry about it for awhile.

    Such a terrible person that no one wants to spend time with you???? Someone is MARRYING you....and clearly wants to spend every single day of forever with you!!!! That’s pretty spectacular in its own right. I would spend the next year focusing on that and all of the other great things in life, and I have a feeling the rest will fall into place! 💛

    Typically bridal showers aren't until much closer to the wedding date. You still have lots of time before then. Don't stress about it, it's so far away! Use this time and energy to have fun planning your wedding.

    I completely understand how you feel! I definitely went through the same thoughts. But bridal showers arent even often a thought until much, much, closer to the wedding so don't even sweat it until six months out.

    I would say this kinda of sums it up. Your not bad for have the thoughts that you have but you have to recognize them as lies and you can't dwell in them.

    If the date in your profile is correct, you need to take a step back and breathe. Most showers I’ve been to are 1-3 months before the wedding and take maybe 1-2 months to plan. I’ve never heard of anyone even mentioning a shower a year in advance.

    My shower was a month before my wedding and it didn't start being planned until maybe like 2-3 months before the shower date, if that. Your wedding is over a year away, nobody is going to be talking about a shower yet. Relax!

    I thought the same thing, I had my bridal shower last weekend but for a while I was super worried because no one was sending rsvps so I just assumed no one was going to show up because no one cared and I was the forgotten one. And it turned out not to be the case at all and it was a great day! Dont stress yet, you've still got plenty of time! My maid of honor planned mine (my sister), I believe it's usually someone very close to the bride who does the planning like a sibling, best friend or even Mom would probably love to throw your shower!

    I wouldn't worry about this until much later. There's plenty of time for someone to host a shower for you, but it probably won't be anytime soon. Relax Smiley smile

    Sorry just to clarify, my wedding is just a couple months away. I just didn't want to put specifics on my profile.
