Tiny Bridal Shower?

I don't have experience, but mine will probably be like this. My FH sister, mom, grandmothers, along with 1 bridesmaid and maybe my sister will be at my BS. All my other BM are out of towners. I don't think it will be that big of a deal, just a more laid back and intimate BS. My sister was just thinking of doing brunch in a private room at a restaurant.

I threw a bridal shower for a coworker. We invited literally the only people she knew in town, the three of us from work, her three roommates, and her mom who flew in for it. Only two of her roommates came, so it was 6 of us plus the bride. We played two little games. One was guessing the source of wedding traditions, and I honestly don't remember the other one. Then we opened gifts and had refreshments. It was about an hour and a half. Everyone had a good time and it was a fun, intimate little gathering!

I had a Bridal Spa Day @ Glen Ivy Hot Springs hosted by my MOH. I wanted something more intimate with just my girls. Total of 8ppl: MOH, 5 BMs, mom and me. We played a few games, drank a little wine, enjoyed the mineral waters and mud bath. We also each got a massage, facial or detox. and FH paid for our lunch. It was a relaxing day. Afterwards half of us went dancing. No regrets.

My bachelorette party is literally three people - me, my mom and aunt (yes, they're throwing me a bachelorette party in vegas...we're kind of an odd family).

I don't think it's odd at all. I prefer nice and intimate gatherings anyway! And the smaller the crowd, the more you can splurge on food and drinks.

Honestly i'm a little jealous! think of all the venue/catering options you can probably afford with such a small and intimate party. some of the traditional (and possibly a little outdated?) games might be harder with a small group but i think a nice lunch with cocktails would be perfect for a group this size! have fun!

I only had 12. It was fine and tons of fun

I attended one that was only about 10 of us. I actually liked it because I was able to chat with everyone there and actually get to know them. The bigger ones I have been to I felt pretty alone because I didn't get to sit next to the 2 other people I knew, but everyone else around me knew each other and didn't include me in any conversations (kept talking about work because they were all coworkers).
