Getting married Sept 27th in Southern VA,hometown, about a 4-5 hr drive from my house in MD. Baby is due Dec 6th. As you know it could come as early as Nov 22nd. I dont return from honeymoon until Oct 8th. My mom and aunt want to throw me bridal shower in mid Aug and a baby shower in mid Oct.
I feel 2 separate showers are too much. I don't plan on driving down to VA at 35 weeks pregnant. I don't want to risk going into labor. I also feel the shower would be too close to the wedding. That is a shower 30 days before wedding and one 3 weeks after. I feel its just too close. I don't want to burden people with all that stuff. The bridal shower is least important to me. My fiancé and I already have a house together and have been together for 3yrs this Oct. I need stuff for our first child. I want to know if I just combined bridal and baby shower in mid August, would be fine? More emphasis on baby gifts. Everyone who is invited to the showers are invited to the wedding and they should be there. Its only 75 people at wedding. They can bring a wedding gift to the wedding. Also, my future mom in law is planning me a bridal and baby shower separately. This is fine because she is local. She is doing bridal shower in late Aug and baby shower in late Oct. I need help. What seems like the best choice?
