My mom and my bridesmaids are currently planning my bridal shower. My insurance expires next month, and I cannot get insurance through my job. My fiancé is trying to figure out if we can add me to his at his job. It looks like we may be able to, but he wants to double check the requirements with HR. If not, we’ll be having a small civil ceremony in January. Just our parents and siblings.
If we do that, I know it’s traditional to not have a bridal shower. However, we would want to proceed as if we are still planning what we originally wanted. We would call our ceremony a bow renewal, but we want to keep the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner and possibly a bridal party party lol. We would tell all our guests we are already married.
Would you give anyone the side eye if you knew the circumstances and they still had a bridal shower?
