No one offered to throw me a bridal shower.

Move on with your wedding and MARRIAGE.

Yeah, sorry, build a bridge and get over it.

You're just suffering from FOMO, I think.

Throw your own shower. Who says someone else has to do it for you.

I'm sorry you are disappointed but there is no way to ask for a shower. A shower, and all the planning involved, should be gifted to you by a willing hostess (or two).

^ PLEASE don't throw your own shower. So tacky.

I agree, it definitely sucks no one offered. My feelings would be hurt too. I think you just should get over it though.

Is your bridal shower more important than your wedding?

While it is true it is an added extra and not necessary and you shouldn't let it get you down too much, there are a few factors...with a destination wedding it may be weird for people to come to a shower but not your wedding...or it could be an opportunity for those local to celebrate with you. Have you talked to your mom or someone close to you? Do you have a registry set up for this type of an event?

No one threw me a shower. Big deal. In the grand scheme of things, this is unimportant.

I'm sorry, that is really disappointing. I would have felt the same way. Is there only a few people invited to the DW bc that might explain why you aren't being offered a shower. If you invited a lot to the DW perhaps talk to your mom about how you're feeling

Jennifer, really????????

Kristen, don't drop hints. You didn't want a bridal party, which is fine, but they might have organized it. Let it go, really, and enjoy your wedding.

Jennifer, it's considered really rude to throw gift-giving events in honour of yourself. Please don't do that.

OP, you'll just need to let it go...

First, I am sorry that you are upset. I never thought I wanted a bridal shower until I went to a friends and had a blast. For a brief time it seemed like I may not "get one" (that sounds wrong but bear with me) due to family issues and people living in different places and not knowing where I'd have it. I ended up having lunch with 11 friends and family and it was lovely. Full disclosure, since it was cohosted by 3 people, 2 of whom were not local, I had to do a bit of logistical support for the event but that ended up fine.

So it blows. You can be sad about it but I don't think you'll look back and be overly sad. The wedding really is the big deal thing and I'm sure yours will be lovely.

Isn't the point of all this planning crap supposed to be marriage?? Not showers and the "gimme gimme". Move on, don't be sad. People are spending enough on your wedding. Worry about more important things. Sorry hun, just how it is. Throwing your own shower or bachelorette is tacky and does not make you look good.

Ask a family member if they would mind taking the responsibility to plan a small one.

As of now, I haven't heard of anyone throwing me one either and it's not something I've given much thought to until I see a post on here. My friends are paying enough for their dresses and leaving work a little early the Friday before for the rehearsal and to stop by the reception venue to help me decorate. I don't want them spending money on any other area. I would be more than happy to throw one for them if/when they get married but I'm a planner and enjoy those things. Not everyone can plan, organize and financially pull off showers.

Sorry that really sucks... Just try to focus on the good things like the wedding and your FH and your Life you will build...I don't think throwing your own is good..

on another note some people on here can be so rude! I really wish that people on here if they don't have anything nice to say would just keep it to themselves... there is a Tactful way to say things and telling someone who is clearly depressed and upset to "build a bridge and get over it" is simply Rude!

I'm not having one either. I don't live near most of my family and friends, and they're scattered all over, so I didn't expect it.

I personally hate attending bridal showers and am likely not having my own. I can't understand why people want these. I don't care what you do, but in my opinion seems like another unnecessary thing to waste money on. The wedding is the important part. The shower is sort of gift grabby and exclusive, which can hurt feelings sometimes.

I can understand being disappointed, but I do think you should do your best to move on from this. I'm not having one by choice, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Focus on the wedding. That's the end game of all of this anyway.
