Bridal shower too early?

Shes off June- august.. Why not the beginning of August? or at least mid july?

Yeah why not August? Or maybe end of July so it's not TOO close to the wedding if people have to travel but still later than June.

In my area, schools start back around the first day of August.

What about Labor Day weekend, or the end of July?

I agree with the above posters. The only reason why We had mine in November for a April wedding was that it coincided with myself traveling to NJ from AZ to see my DH when he was working in his home state. His whole family was there, so it was the easiest. Plus my mom was in town that weekend with my dad on a business trip so she was able to make it as well.

If you don't have the travel aspect, I would shoot for end of July or August so its closer!

August can be busy for teachers wrapping up their own summer vacations and starting school - depending on the area, schools sometimes start in mid to early August. (My friend who teaches in Arizona may not be able to make my August wedding as a result of this )

You could ask about July, but if June is the best option for her, I wouldn't see any issue with it. Working in a tourism-related industry, I know July can be really busy for family vacations, so June might actually be a best option.

I mean, if she's free in June she's free in June. I think it's fine. She's the one hosting, she should make it convenient for her too.

My bridal shower was in September and my wedding is in May. We did that for the following reasons

1. That was the time that worked for all the bridesmaids and my MOH planning it.

2. The months closer to my wedding were very close to holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, Mardi Gras (my fiance is from New Orleans so this is a big deal/family holiday actually), My bachelorette, the actual wedding, so we found it better to spread it out so that people weren't buying gifts, plane tickets, paying for stuff, etc back to back so close to the main event.

I really don't think there's a right or wrong way to do it. The people who love you will be there and will be happy to be a part of it if they can make it.

I don't think it's too soon. It gives me something to look forward to before the wedding!

I also had mine super early, August for my May wedding. We had it correspond with dress shopping since I had to have several people traveling in. I had the same reasons as Theresa for planning it so far in advance.

My shower is in May, bachelorette in June, and I have an August wedding. I don't think it's weird at all. I've been to numerous showers 2-4 out! We scheduled mine on family schedules, and I'm in a wedding in July.

I don't think it's too soon. I had to plan my FSIL's shower for December 27th and her wedding is July 11th. She's a teacher in Saskatchewan, and everyone is here in Ontario. She only came home for Christmas and then not until her wedding.

Mine will be in early October, that's 3 months out as well. At first I thought it was a little early, but there was a thread of here a little while ago about this and a lot of people have them 3 or more months before the wedding.

I don't think it is too early. I had two showers. One in October and one at the end of November. It was much easier to focus on the October one and to get thank you notes out in a timely manner. The November shower was so close to the wedding that it was really difficult getting thank yous done.

I think it's nice to have them a little early. Breaks up the time for you and makes that thank you note process a little easier to manage.

I didn't know showers could be too early. I mean, as long as your guest list is set in stone and you don't invite anyone to the shower you won't be inviting to the wedding.

Mine was just barely under 3 months before my wedding because it was just the weekend that worked best for my aunt (hosting) and bridesmaids (hosting my bachelorette party the day before the shower). We had the holidays in the way and it just worked out well. No one really cared that it was early, we had a great turnout!

My shower was in March for my August wedding. It was a surprise and I think it was the only time that 4 of the 5 bridesmaids and I were in the same place at the same time until 2 days before my wedding. If that's easiest for her, I think people will understand.

I don't think its too early. I don't believe there is any right or wrong time frame to have the parties (i.e. engagment, bridal shower, bachelorette) leading up to the wedding. Its one less thing to deal with between july - sept.

This is a little different. But I lived in my home for 1.5 years before having the housewarming. No one had an obvious issue with it...neither did I.

I don't think it's too early.

Mine is going to be the first weekend in March because it's the only weekend my daughter will be home from college. My MOH planned around that. My bachelorette is probably too early, April 2, because of my sister's work schedule. Also can't be avoided.

I think that's fine. I had my shower in March for my July wedding because that was over my MIL's spring break and she was traveling cross country for it.

I personally don't see an issue but that's me thinking about funds. It would be nice to space out the spending. But like others said it depends on how close the guests are to you and if they have to travel.
