Should i still have a wedding shower?

Countryangel707, on October 2, 2023 at 8:02 AM Posted in Planning 0 3
So my grandma and stepmom are wanting to throw us a wedding shower. The only problem is that I really don't have anyone to come. I would only have them and maybe my stepmom's parents and sister. I can't invite my mom because she does not get along with my grandma and Dad and vice versa. I'm also pretty sure the family that my fiance has in the area would not come and it would only be one person if they did. The rest of my fiance's family live in other states and I don't see them coming down for that. We do want to have a wedding shower but I just don't know if it's worth it for only maybe three or four people. Any thoughts?

    In your place I’d skip it, for the reasons you give, and because I still agree with the traditional rule that family shouldn’t be throwing a bridal shower. Anyone who wants to send you an engagement gift still can, of course.

    I would base my decision off of personal circumstances. Bridal parties are basically a get together that involves gift giving of items that would typically be on your wedding registry. It would be things like necessary kitchen and household items. If you and your FH are in need of those items because you are/ will be moving in together and need them to get your life going, then yes I would say go ahead & have the party. If you are not in need of these items at all or right away then I would consider skipping it.

    My FH & I both already had our own homes and when we got engaged we moved in together. My family also kindly offered to throw me a Bridal Shower but since we don't NEED new household items, I am choosing to politely forgo.

    You could do a brunch or lunch at a restaurant instead. Skip the gifts, shower games, etc, and just have a nice, small celebration with the people they want to include. Cost wise it would probably be similar to hosting a shower for that number of people.
