Combining bridal shower and bachelorette party?

I think this is a great idea! Shower in the afternoon, party at night! (That way those who only want to come to the shower can head out after!)

Ive heard of people doing it in one weekend (bachelorette sat, shower sun) but have not personally combined

I'm doing this for my sisters wedding next March. The bachelorette is the month before Fri-Sat, and our mom is throwing her bridal shower on Sunday morning. She has bridesmaids that are from OOT, so in an effort to be money conscious, we scheduled it that way.

My friend who had a DW in France did this. All of her friends were spread out across the country. Her MOH (who lived in L.A. at the time) planned to have the shower/bachelorette party in L.A since most of the invitees were local there. My friend lived in D.C. at the time, but was traveling to L.A. so often for work, she kept a room at a hotel there, and I was able to stay with her (as I live in Seattle). I usually abhor showers, but we had a lot of fun. Shower in the afternoon, and dinner and clubbing at night (with a limo of course).

I'm doing this too. My bachelorette will be Friday/Saturday and bridal shower is on Sunday after hair trial. A lot to pack into a day but it just made the most sense.

My MOH organized this for me. We had a brunch shower, rented a house to stay in that night, went back there to relax/get ready after and then went out for dinner and dancing in the evening. My only advice is to try to build in a little relax time at some point during the day.

My bridesmaids did a combo weekend for me. It was just the four of them. They were all planning to come up to pick out dresses (they live in literally the four corners of the country and I'm in the middle), so it just made sense for them. They planned a big fun weekend. One night was more reserved and was the "shower" and one we went out and did the "Bachelorette." Realistically it was a long weekend celebrating with my best friends.

I've never heard/thought of that, but I love it!

I don't see a problem with it, but I would check to see if whoever is planning these events is ok with it.

I did this for my best friend when I was her MOH. The shower was at her moms house in PA, she flew up with some friends from FL - we did the shower during the day on Saturday then rented a party bus to Philly for the night for the bachelorette! it worked perfectly. I did E-vites to the girls invited to the night time festivities so that they were separate from any shower invites/details.

My new niece did this since most of her friends traveled for the shower. Afterwards, they went out for her bach party, so all on the same day!

It's acceptable and we did it for my sister BUT we were all exhausted and partially hungover at the shower and just wanted to get home. The bachelorette was Friday-Sunday morning at the beach, shower was Sunday afternoon at 1 in a different city, same state. It's doable but do the going out night with a day between if possible.

Mine wasn't combined per se. But we had the shower Saturday afternoon and bach Saturday night.

I was a BM in my friend's wedding earlier this year and we had both events in one day. It was tiring but fun!
