Bridal shower if it is the grooms second marriage

I had a small intimate shower my sister in law threw for me with some girl friends..we didn't do the big one because my great aunts got sick and didn't have time. However, no one ever, not even once, mentioned to me not to do it cuz it's his second marriage. Idk if his family will be weird about it but I can guarantee yours most likely won't. It's just a get together and if someone brings a gift they bring a gift. I have encountered his aunt rsvp'ing no because "It's his second wedding and it seems like a handout for gifts." B*tch please ;-) haha I wouldn't worry..do what YOU want to do..they can either like it or not

Its your first wedding...why should you be denied traditions because of something that happened in his past? don't worry about it, just do what you want. no one in your family is going to think anything is wrong with it.

Yes you should i did

YOU should do it if you want to this day and age everything goes!

Bridal Shower is all about you, so since it's your first wedding I don't see why you shouldn't have one. It MIGHT be less etiquette-friendly for you to have an engagement party and/or bachelor/bachelorette parties

Its your first you should have the shower and the egagement party but yeah maybe skip the bachelor/ bechloette party

Honey, I've been married more than once before and my friends are already planning on having a shower for me!! (FS has never been married)

I've never heard of not doing a shower is it's a second wedding. I don't see why you can't have one. I've never been married, but I'm an older bride so we have a lot of the things already that people would normally get as gifts. I'm still having one though and I found plenty of things to register for.

Thanks everyone this is helpful for me and hopefully I can talk my sister's friend into letther her bridesmaid throw her a shower as well.

I'm with everyone else! You get to have everything every other bride does!!!!

This is my second wedding but not my fiances and I guess were having two(one I shouldnt know about) I look at it as a shower it to help you start your new lives together. So why not? You guys will have a whole new life. The past is in the past.

No worries. Not only is it your first marriage, but heck, it is a new marriage.

There are so many themes for showers too. Some may be to "fill the panty". Some may be to fill the home. Some may be to pamper the bride.

No matter what the theme, do not worry that your FH was married before.

Have a shower, enjoy it and then enjoy a fabulous marriage!

@ChristieR....

I was not an older bride, but both my ex and I had established our own homes when we met. The thing that we found, was that people became very creative with their gifts to us. It was cool.
