I was just wondering if anyone else is leaving these wedding rituals out. I really have no desire to have a bachelorette party and as for a bridal shower, it would be fun but I only have one really good friend in this state with me and I can't afford to go to my hometown for it nor do I want to so I am thinking of just skipping the festivities. This may upset my Flower Girl (who is stepping in with the MOH duties and is in her 40's by the way). I am just not sure what to do.
