Bridal shower???

Welcome to WW!

It's considered poor taste to host your own shower. If you'd like to host a get together for your friends, that's totally fine

I think that would be more of a engagement party than a shower. People say hosting your own shower is poor taste because it results in gifts, but if all the people who would throw you shower aren't in the country I think you can do a little one.

I wouldnt be hosting it, my mom and aunt were the ones who would host but I dont know how i feel about it.

It's also considered rude to invite people to the shower who aren't invited to the wedding (if I'm understanding your post correctly that is your plan?)
It sounds like what you're trying to do is sort of a celebration of marriage but beforehand?

I mean I feel it's okay ( atleast in my opinion) if you invited them to the wedding but majority of them couldn't attend( due to travel/money) to have someone host a pre-wedding celebratation. I mean I wouldn't have them put anything about your registry ( since they won't be attending the wedding) but I would think people might still bring some type of gift such as a card or money.

It’s fine as long as the people invited to the shower were at least invited to the wedding, it doesn’t matter if they can’t make it.

Hey Andrea! Welcome to the WeddingWire community!

When planning a bridal shower, it is important to remember that only people who will be invited to your actual wedding should be invited to your shower. A bridal shower is a gift-giving event so guests should be invited to the shower and the wedding, or neither.

Are you inviting guests to your wedding, even though it is out of the country? If so, then that’s perfectly fine. They should at least receive an invitation to your wedding and then it is up to them whether they will be attending or not.
