Hi everyone! So we aren’t having a bridal party. Who would plan the bachorlette and wedding shower? We really don’t have anyone planning it unfortunately. I am okay planning it on my own but feel weird. My sister doesn’t know how to she says and to be honest I feel like she might not want to, she is kind of an introvert. I don’t want to make anyone plan it. Has anyone else been in this situation? I still want to have one, we are also having a wedding shower that we might plan ourselves as well. I feel sad over all of this Smiley sad

    You didn't mention your mom or mother-in-law but would either of them have any interest in planning a shower? My mom, mother-in-law and one of my bridesmaids planned everything together. Some of the other bridesmaids assisted with bringing games to the shower.

    Me and my mom are on strange terms…. future mother in law lives too far away to plan anything.

    Would you be up to doing the planning for the shower and have your sister basically just assume the title of host? She could have her name listed on the invite and be the person people would contact to RSVP, but then you'd handle the planning and everything behind the scenes.

    Hosting your own shower, which is a gift giving event, is an etiquette faux pas. It's OK for the bride to help plan though, as long as someone else is hosting. I see you're getting married in a year, lots could change before that.

    My wedding party is all from out of state and arriving late the day before the wedding, I work remotely so my friends/colleagues won’t be planning anything either, I am not expecting anyone to try and plan anything, I am honestly too busy to plan my own, so I just assumed one wouldn’t happen. If you do plan your own, make it simple and easy so you don’t have additional stress that would normally be managed by the wedding party.

    If someone doesn’t offer to host one for you, then you go without. It’s a faux pas to host your own because it’s a gift giving event.
