Reschedule bridal shower?? Need advice!

Heather S, on July 15, 2013 at 5:54 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6

Ok, I'll try this again. We are thinking of rescheduling the wedding to March 2014. My bridal shower is next month. My BFF who is hosting it has already been planning it for months and has changed the location once and had to reprint the invites. She mailed them out nine weeks before the shower. I haven't talked to her yet as I wanted to hear from the WW God's what they (you guys) think should be done. Smiley smile Do you think we should go ahead with the plans of next month? My FH thinks I should let it go and by the time we get all our vendors in line on the same day and have new STD's printed with change of date that it will be a month anyway. OR, should we re-schedule the bridal shower for a few months??

    Honest advice. If you're going to keep the shower date the same, I'd spread the reason why you're rescheduling. If I don't know why, I'd be suspicious if the 2 are you are having trouble. Thus, I might not be so generous in my gift.

    I'd say leave it! It's not like its THAT much further away.

    No need to upset a bridesmaid! I'd give her a heads up on the date change though!

    Thanks!

    Two reasons why we are rescheduling. One is FH needs heart surgery but doesn't have health ins, and most likely will get state aid starting Jan 1st IF he's single (as I make too much for him to qualify). Other reason, he lost his job and money has been tight and stressful for us. We need extra time to catch up.

    Thanks, Lynzey. I'd prefer to postpone the shower, probably until December only because I don't know when FH will be scheduled for surgery in Jan.

    I'd probably move the shower. Talk to your BFF about it (before you just up and change it) and make sure she's cool with hosting it if it's changed again. (My BFF is also doing mine. She'd probably tell me she wants to kick my ass, but she'd do change it if needed..lol). Like OTW said, I would be honest with your family and friends as to why you are rescheduling. Heart surgery is a big deal and I'm sure it's expensive. Most of them (hopefully all of them) will understand. Either way you do it, just be up front and honest.

    If she already booked stuff (if it's not at a home or something) and she would loose deposits, etc I would keep it as planned. I would talk to her and figure out the best plan.
