Hello beautiful people. I’m reaching out to you all again because you understand better.
I’m in a position where I don’t know what to do. I moved to the states years ago for school, and I’m getting married next year.
Is it bad if I Host my own bridal shower/brunch shower? All my family lives overseas, and I don’t have really close friends that offer to throw one for me. My fiancé wants me to have one; that’s an American tradition. I would love to have one, but I don’t know if it looks rude/weird/out of place if I organize and do my bridal shower.
Thank you!

Generally, people say that you shouldn't host your own pre-wedding events. What about your fiances mother or family? Do you think that they would throw you ne? If he wants you to have one maybe he could ask one of them.

Well...you’re not supposed to host your own shower. Usually a friend does it for you, because it’s a party where people are supposed to “shower” you with gifts.
The old-school rules are that a family member isn’t supposed to do it either but I think that’s relaxed more. Can he ask his mom/sister/aunt/someone to do it for you?

If your fiancé wants you to have one he should ask women in his family to host one for you. You should not host your own shower.

If there is no one to throw it, is there anyone to invite?

You really shouldn't host your own.

Etiquette says you cannot host your own shower. On the flip side, you can host a bridesmaid luncheon to honor and thank them. A good time to their gifts.
If someone chooses to host a shower for you, they will come to you and offer. You do not ask them nor have fiancé them. Wait for someone to come to you.

Not to be rude, but if you don't have close friends, then who would you invite? If FH wants you to have a shower, then he should ask some of his family members to host it. Hosting your own shower is the ultimate gift-grab so I definitely wouldn't recommend it

Thank you all for your answers!

I truly appreciate it. For those who wonder about friends and family, I moved to the states few years ago for works and my only family here is my fiancé and his family.

A bridal shower is not a thing where I come from. We had decided not to have one and just have a small bbq with our families and friends before our destination wedding, like a rehearsal.
