Shower 3 weeks before the wedding?

Erin Wood, on May 1, 2017 at 12:47 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 28

My Aunt offered to throw me a shower months ago but wanted to wait until the weather was nicer. Now she needs a hip replacement and is hoping to do the shower on June 11. The wedding is July 8. I think that's too close to the wedding. Thoughts?

    Why do you think that it's too close to the wedding? Will there be a lot of OOT guests invited to the shower? If everyone's local, then I don't see why it would be a problem.

    Hmm I don't think it's too close. Mine is a month before. What is your worry? That you'll be too busy with planning?

    Depends on if you have lots of out of towners but I think it's ok.

    I don't think that is too close. It is right at the cusp though. Go for it.

    My best friend had hers a month before! I don't think too close. Are you worried about something specific?

    Mine is June 3 and the wedding is the 24th... I don't think it's too soon. It will give me a break from planning.

    Oh okay!! I was thinking more of the cost. I don't want people to have to buy a shower gift and wedding gift within a short span of time. I know some people are on a tighter budget. I've always been to showers months before the wedding so I just wasn't sure. Thank you!

    I think it will be fine! I just went to one that was a little under a month from her wedding. Not a big deal, I think 1-2 months is pretty standard, and 3 weeks would be fine as well

    My FMIL is planning a couples shower for next Friday and we'll be getting married the following Saturday. It feels close but they planned it that way because FH grandma is coming into town from Florida for it and the wedding.
