Bridal Shower After The Wedding?

Victoria, on June 14, 2018 at 9:53 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

My bridal shower was scheduled for 6/3/18 and my mother unexpectedly passed away on 5/25/18 so we cancelled the shower due to funeral planning and grief. Our wedding is 7/21/18 and there is no time between now and then to reschedule. Would it be okay to schedule a shower after the wedding with this circumstance or would people bring what would have been a shower gift to the actual wedding?

    If I were a guest to this shower, I wouldn't even think twice about attending it after the wedding given the circumstances. I also wouldn't be surprised if people just started to drop their gifts off to you at home.

    I am so sorry to hear this. I am sure it's not easy to proceed with wedding plans, but I hope you're doing alright. I wish there were better words for these situations..

    I think whatever you are most comfortable with is what everyone will work around. Some people may bring their shower gift to the wedding if they can't attend a shower post-wedding, but if you communicate early that you're moving the shower to after the wedding, I think you'll be fine!

    I'm so sorry for your loss! I can't even imagine what you must be going through.

    TBH, unless you were family or a best friend, I wouldn't attend a post wedding shower. If there's no bridal shower, I usually just give a bigger wedding gift to compensate. Maybe you can call it a housewarming party or something different so people aren't confused (although I don't think they'd think you're being rude).
