Time schedules

Honestly it's really up to you when you do it. It also decides how many showers you want to do but usually someone else is supposed to throw the shower for you. You and your future husband can host an engagement party and you can host your bachelorette. Whenever you choose to do it is up to you and your FH.

Showers are usually anywhere from 5 months to 3 weeks before. My bridal shower is march 7th for our may 9th wedding

My bridal shower is March 14th and I’m getting married May 2nd. I’m having one shower, and my fiancé will come for the last hour to open gifts and play the “shoe game”.
I don’t know anyone that had 2 showers, would it be the same group of people invited? If it’s two completely different groups of people I think that would be fine but if it’s the same people I wouldn’t expect them to come to two showers and bring two gifts.

I think a bridal shower should be whenever is most convenient for you! I’m getting married on November 21st and my shower is August 1st. I live in a different state than everyone that is invited so it had to be a date where I could make it home!

First off, you don't do a shower for yourself. Someone may offer to give a shower just for you, or a couples shower, and you are free to accept. But if no one does, you just don't have one.

In general, it's a bad idea to invite the same person to more than one shower. So unless there are whole separate groups (e.g., your coworkers come to one, his friends to another), it's best to have just one shower (bridal or couples).

I think bridal shower dates are personal preference. Every bridal shower I have been to has been a little over a month before the wedding. My MOH is my sister and she is planning the bridal shower. From what she has told me, she is doing the shower on January 11, 2020 and our wedding date is February 29, 2020. That weekend is when my FH is going to be out of town for his bachelor party so she thought it was perfect. We aren't doing both; just the bridal shower.

I would say if you wanted to do both to do them maybe a month or two apart. Having them back to back could be more stressful on you and your FH.
