Bridal Shower dates

I think that's too far in advance. Mine was 6 weeks before the wedding.

Mine is going to be April 2nd for a May 20th wedding. You have to do what works for your schedule and your girls schedules. I don't think it's fair to put a rule that it has to be within a certain timeframe.

My wedding is September 30th also and my sister who is my MOH is planning on having mine end of August. I think even though you are busy as a photographer it's ok to take time off for your own wedding and bridal shower. I do photography on the side and already aloud myself from August first until mid October off from it

Mine was 10 weeks before our wedding and I thought that was pushing it. I would do it closer to the wedding.

Mine is fairly early, January 21 and wedding is April 29. My Aunt and cousin who are hosting are out of the country from mid February until early April.

I feel like exceptions can be made in this kind of situation. A friend of mine got married in September and had her bridal shower in May. I'm not sure of the reason why, but I don't remember anyone saying anything about the 4 month gap. I didn't even think twice about it

My wedding is mid-March - and we had showers thrown for us Thanksgiving weekend, and December 10.

It was earlier than most people would have planned, but between the holidays, FH goes to Superbowl for 2 weeks each year for work, we're going on a family vacation before the wedding. We also live 5 hours from our family and venue, so we're not home every weekend. It worked out for us, and our family in town. Although it may not be ideal to have a shower farther out date-wise, sometimes that's what works for people throwing it, and for you.

I don't think it's too big of a deal. My sisters are hosting mine for me, and they chose the end of June because my sister will be up from SC during that time (we live in PA). I think guests will understand the situation.

Mine is 3 weeks before my wedding and frankly I wish it was going to be further out but schedules were hard. I think late May would be fine.

Would it be possible to do a weeknight shower? I know they're traditionally Saturday mornings or afternoons, but perhaps a Friday (or other) evening will make scheduling simpler?

Can someone fill me in why it needs to be that close to the wedding? I didn't realize that was a thing.

Thanks everyone! Photography is my full-time job (i.e., if I don't work I don't do things like pay bills and eat food...or pay for a wedding), so time off is a big deal. I'm taking the week of and a couple days after off, but that's all we can afford. I have a staff as well, so there's several people depending on me working normally! I shoot 6 days a week. Ideally I'd like to do end of July/1st of August, but that's not possible for my MOH. I appreciate the feedback!

I live in Florida and am getting married in New York where mine and FH families live. Since I have to travel for my bridal shower I needed to do it at a time that works with my work schedule. I am a teacher so I am having mine during my spring break in March, and my wedding is in July. Have it when it works for you and your girls.

Date twin!!!
