Bridal Shower & Bachelorette Party on the same weekend

My MOH seems to think that they can pull it off. I am grateful either way

We did this for my sisters. Bach started Friday and went til Sunday morning at the beach, then the bridal shower was that Sunday at like 1. We were exhausted and slightly hungover. My only request to my girls was if they throw me those parties that they are not the same weekend.

Yep. Mine is next weekend. Bridal shower starts at one, and bachelorette is later that night. Most I've seen do it this way anymore, it seems a lot easier for people who have to travel.

My preference would be to have them separate...the guest list for the bp is very small and they are a local (well...the MOH lives about 40 mins away). The guest list for the bs is larger and few people will travel. When I mentioned my preference she seemed slightly offended so I graciously agreed to the plan.

I had a friend who had a bridal shower during the day and the Bach party that night

My cousin's is because she's from out of town and so are a lot of people in the bridal party so I just kind of panned out that way

I have been to a wedding that did this. It worked because it was not a destination bachelorette. My own have to be separate weekends because people are so scattered across the country and the groups of people are different.

My bridal shower is the weekend following my Bachelorette. I feel like both in one weekend is a lot on the bride and the guests!

Mine are both next weekend! I'm just doing a very casual stop in bridal shower from 5-7 and then the bachelorette starts at 8. The shower is at my parents house and the party bus also picks us up from there! I think because mine is so casual it will work perfectly!

This is what I asked my girls and they agreed that it would be best. Considering that I don't want a destination BP, it'll be easy to stay in town and have fun. All I was allowed to do was give a date for each event, so I have no idea what's being planned.

My MOH asked for suggestions on this & I said that I want something more laid back & think having a camping weekend would be great (granted...not for every bride). I was thinking a brunch bridal shower, tubing afterwards for whoever wants to go & then 'bachelorette partiers' can stick around n camp that night (drinking/no driving).

I think it's easier to have it all in 1 day, especially if it's over summer when free weekends are rare.

No you should definitely space it out.

Seems like it would be easier if people live far away
