Bridal Luncheon

Since my bridesmaids are tight on cash, and after already asking them to be in the wedding, I am completely accepting the fact that a shower is not on the table. Which I am totally ok with. We are having a casual reception at a park because that is the kind of people we are. However, I would really like to get the women who I am close with together for a brunch and take part in all the other parts of a shower other than the gifts. I would be hosting, paying for the venue, food, decor, games, etc. I have always really liked the idea of having brunch and mimosas. So that is what I am planning on having. There will be a door prize and at least one game prize. I have also decided to do either mini bottles of wine or champagne as the favors. Would hosting this type of event be ok??

It's perfectly normal for the bride to host a bridal brunch or luncheon.

That would be perfectly fine and I'm sure your bridesmaids would love it!

Arghhhhh you stole my idea lol. That is what I plan. I just wanna celebrate with my girls. I think it is fine because you're covering it and no gifts are expected. I am thinking to do more continental style and a good excuse to do a doughnut stand ha ha.

This sounds great! We did a bridal brunch the Friday before our Saturday wedding and it was a total blast (of course this depends on everyone's schedules and a Sunday may be better?) But it was a great way to relax with my girls - and my mom and a few of her close friends who helped host other events - and show a little appreciation for everyone pitching in and participating to make the big day so special

Great minds think alike. And we are actually having a doughnut stand at the reception with the dessert table.

Thanks Katie! I was actually thinking of having mine a few months before only because one of my BMs lives out of town, the other has toddlers and my MOH is going to have a 4-month old. As for the other ladies I would be inviting, their schedule is a little less complex. I just want everyone to come have fun with me after I've gone a little crazy and say "Thank you for dealing with me" LOL
