Is it ok to have bridal shower early?!

Our wedding is not until September - but we have been searching for a place to live and found the PERFECT condo! However, we need A LOT of stuff - we already have our registries set up. Is it okay to have an early bridal shower?? I don't want to come off as rude or anything by having the bridal shower so far in advance but we really do need a lot of things for our place!

Suggestions?!

    I guess it's really up to you but the bridal shower should really be no more than 3-4 months before the wedding. That being said, if you think your guests are fine with it, do it!

    My mom and aunts are hosting my bridal shower on March 29th (nearly 6 months before my wedding). To me, that is EXTERMELY early, but she's hosting so I'm not complaining. You know you're guests better than we do. If they won't find it strange, then I say do it.

    Maybe throw a House Warming party for friends and close family (people who understand your situation)? Just let word get out that you want things from your registry for your housewarming - that way it's not really a shower.

    If you think it's too early why don't you have a housewarming party?

    I agree -- housewarming party. People will most likely bring you things.

    Personally, I think if I received an invite to a bridal shower almost a year in advance, I would assume it's a gift grab.

    I think it's too early, but honestly it's up to whoever is throwing you the shower.

    i went to a shower in May for someone who got married in October and i thought that was kind of odd
