Shower/Bachelorette Same Weekend?

I am in the same boat except I'm the one that's out of town. So my girls planned my bachlorette party all day for Saturday and my bridal shower is a brunch on Sunday.

We're doing both in one day, brunch shower in the morning, and then bachelorette party at night. All of my BM's are OOT except my MOH and myself. Friday night we're going to have a BBQ/Bonfire get together at our house for all the girls and anyone whose significant other is joining them for the trip (my BM's husband is from our area, so they're making it a chance for him to see his family too). Then I think me and the bridal party will do lunch or something all together on Sunday before people have to start leaving again. I think @Alicia's idea of a shower on Sunday is better for most people than a Friday night.

We did a Saturday afternoon bachelorette spa day and a Sunday brunch shower. Everyone was coming from at least an hour away so it made sense.

We are doing Friday night bridal shower and Saturday/Sunday bachelorette party. It's too much gathering everyone for multiple weekends instead of one big eventful one.

We are doing a Saturday early afternoon/daytime shower and Girls night Saturday night for bachelorette. I am 6 hrs away from "home" where the wedding and shower/bach festivities are being thrown. A couple of the BMs will be travelling for it but luckilly have family there too. I think all in one weeekend works!

I did one of these once (I was a bridesmaid). It was exhausting though convenient for those flying, sort of. If you do it, keep things in ONE general location. The MOH made us drive on 95S on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend for the shower...then drive back up 95 to have the bachelorette that night in the area I (and most others) lived. It took hours to get to the bridal shower (should have taken 45 minutes), everyone was late (I allowed 2 hours to get there, and it still took longer than that), everyone was annoyed. It was a pain in the ass.

I'm in a similar situation where almost all of my BMs and my future in-laws will be coming from out of state, so it makes sense to save on traveling expenses to do them both in one weekend. The bachelorette party will most likely be Saturday night (nothing too crazy since not everyone will be of legal drinking age) and the bridal shower will be in the same town late Sunday morning to early afternoon so everyone can get back on the road at a decent time.
