Shower Planning

Ashley, on April 1, 2021 at 10:15 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 6

As I'm sure a lot of you had to do, my fiance and I had to postpone our wedding due to Covid. Our original date was August 15th, 2020, and our new date is July 24th, 2021. Shortly after we chose our new date, my sister chose hers...August 15th, 2021. That's a whole other story.

Right around Christmas time, she asked me to be her matron of honor. I said yes, because regardless of my feelings on her date of choice, she is my little sister and I wanted to say yes. At the time, she was uncertain if she was going to ask any other girls to be in the bridal party, which is fine. Maybe back in January she told me she had plans to ask 2 other girls. I thought...ok cool, now I don't have to handle this by myself. Anyway, it is now April 1st. I've been asking for months if she's asked the other girls to be in the wedding, and she has not. In a normal world, 4 months would be plenty of time to plan a bridal shower and bachelorette party. But with having to finalize all the things for my own wedding, not to mention the amount of money I'm about to drop finalizing everything, I want to get started planning things for her wedding as soon as possible.

My question is: would it be wrong of me to start making plans, even though I know she has 2 other girls (potentially) that would I'm sure want to be involved in the process? I don't want to keep waiting and then feel like I'm scrambling at the last minute.

    I don't see any harm in starting to plan. We don't actually know that your sister will ask these other two girls since she has already put it off for the past couple of months. If she does ask them, they might not have any interest in planning or the money to contribute. My sister was my MOH and she did nothing. She didn't help plan or pay for any part of my shower because she just wasn't interested.

    That is a good point. I've been thinking also that if she does finally ask them, they may say no since it's so close to the wedding they may not have the extra funds to be able to be involved, which I would totally understand.

    Definitely nothing wrong with starting plan now - you definitely don't need the added stress of waiting till the last minute to start planning her shower. Starting now gives you the time to figure out how casual or fancy your sister wants and how much involvement she wants to have.
