I have some unique questions. My sister just got married 4 months ago and is almost 4 months pregnant. My brother and his fiance are getting married in September. Both my sister and soon to be sister in law live out of state and all of the family lives here. Our family is wanting to do a "combined" wedding/baby shower for the both of them since it seems silly for the family to come to 2 showers within a couple of weeks of each other (my sisters friends here are going to give her their own "friend" shower) so the only people that will be at the combined shower will be family. Questions:

1) Is this tacky?

2) How do you word a invitation?

3) How do you decorate?

Hey there!
1) Combining a wedding and baby shower can be a unique and efficient way to celebrate two joyous occasions, especially considering the family logistics. It's all about perspective, and if your sister and soon-to-be sister-in-law are on board, it can be a great way to gather everyone.
2) When wording the invitation, you could go for something like, "Join us for a double celebration! A wedding for [Brother's Name] and [Fiance's Name] and a baby shower for [Sister's Name]. Let's shower them with love and best wishes!"
3) For decorations, consider a theme that blends both celebrations, perhaps using a color scheme that complements both weddings and baby showers. Think about incorporating elements like wedding bells and baby rattles in the decor. It could be a fun challenge to find creative ways to represent both occasions.
And hey, to add some interactive fun to the gathering, have you considered the " guess how many jelly beans baby shower game " game? It's a light-hearted addition that could bring some joy to the combined celebration.
Wishing your sister and soon-to-be sister-in-law double the happiness on their special day! 🎉👰👶
