Bridal Showers? Should I host my own?

I wouldn't throw my own. Some people don't get bridal showers. It isn't a requirement. So the way it is, no host-no shower. It's gift grabby hosting your own.

No you shouldn't throw your own. If someone offers thats fine but you shouldn't ask. It's considered gift grabby since a shower isn't necessary.

Throwing your own is rude. Keep in mind you should also never invite anyone to the shower that isn't invited to the wedding.

No, you shouldn't throw your own shower. I don't have a bridal party either, but that doesn't open the door for me to host a party honoring myself.

Nope. Don't throw your own. My mom and sister are throwing me one, but I would never ask them to.

You can not throw your own. If no one offers you don't get one.

Agree with the other ladies, you should not host your own nor should you ask someone to host one for you. There's plenty of time before your wedding, someone might offer still

I don't think its rude to throw your own bridal shower! Especially since you don't have a bridal party. I do think its rude/awkward to ask your friends to throw one for you though.

Ok Ladies thanks for the comments, I will just wait then if they don't offer I won't worry about it.....Thanks again

Latashia, you're a smart lady. You came, asked a question, got a majority answer, and listened to the majority. You didn't call anyone a bitch or a meanie simply because you received answers that were contrary to what you wanted to do. You said, "I will just wait then...if they don't offer I won't worry about it."

For what it's worth, I hope your friends pull it together and host a shower for you.

@TheCenterpiece Floral Design, Lol thanks...I was just curious because I've never been a bride before nor have I been a part of any weddings...so I wasn't offended at all...Just an honest question lol.... I'm a pretty opened minded person...I try not to take things too personal lol..... Thank You! I hope my friends will too!

Dont stress to much about wedding shower. The people who give you a gift at a wedding shower will not bring a gift to the wedding. So you'll still be getting same amounts of gift. You actually have more to lose by throwing your own shower because it would be an extra expense to you since your the host.

As for asking your friends... that is a bit rude because they might have not asked for a reason.

You could casually bring it up when you hang out like..

'I love wedding showers!" *hint hint* haha...

I disagree that "people who give you a gift at your wedding shower will not bring a gift to the wedding". This isn't how it works at all. Gifts are never required but I always give a gift at both events because they are separate events with different purposes. What about the rest of you ???

OP - are there no guests at your wedding at all? Are you having a reception?

@MrsCampos Yes I agree, well maybe they will, but since I don't have a wedding party I guess there is a chance that I won't have one..but I was just curious... I may throw a hint or two lol

@Kelli I'm having a very small beach wedding maybe a total of 15 people...and I am having a reception too....but I decided not to have a Bridal Party because the ceremony will be short and sweet on the beach.
