Two bridal showers?

I am having two showers. My family and FH family lives two hours apart so two showers makes sense. However, both mothers and all grandmothers are invited to attend both events.

I'm not having a shower. But my friend had two showers. Both I was invited to and attended. Maybe you can express yo her how you feel?

I will be having two. My family and FH's family live in different states, so it made more sense to have two.

My families considered having two, my dad & all of his side of the family live in Houston and we live in Baton Rouge---4 hour difference. So, basically it was going to be a TX party and a LA party, but moms & grandma's invited to both.

I'm having a friends shower with my bridal party and other friends and then a combined family shower next month

It's proper etiquette to invite every woman that's invited to the wedding to a bridal shower. If you have to have one or five bridal showers to make that happen, so be it. I'm going to have at least two if not three, because having 80 women at a bridal shower just seems like too much to me.

It's not etiquette to invite every woman that's invited to your wedding to the shower...it's the other way around. You aren't supposed to invite people to the shower unless they're invited to the wedding. That being said, my shower will be for my closest family and friends only. It only makes sense to have two showers if there is a distance issue.

I'm having 2 one in my hometown one where FH lives, mom and gma are also going to both. Why do I know this?! My MOH can't keep her mouth shut...

I am having two showers. The families live 6 hours away so we are having one in the state we live in and one in FH's hometown. For us this is not a problem but is most practical for all guests since then just FH and I have to travel.

I don't particularly see anything wrong with two showers, but I share the same opinion as you that I would not want two. If your vision is having everyone come together for one shower be clear with her on that. This is your wedding. Let her know that you think her offer is very sweet and you appreciate it, but you would prefer that only one is held and you can have your mother contact her if she would still like to help host.

I am having two showers. My Aunt threw me one for mostly family members on both sides. It was awesome! My second one is being thrown by a family friend. That one is no family, besides my mom (FMIL and FSIL cannot make it) so it will be a lot of good family friends! Both were smaller 10-15 people but I love them both!

I'm having two but it was because my church wanted to do one. I have a feeling it's because they were upset that my mom was having it at an outside venue and a sangria bar. It's a little frustrating because it'll split the guests and each will be very small. My mom really enjoys planning this sort of things so I think she's a little bummed that she picked a space that's for a much larger group. But the invites had already gone out when she found out the church was doing their thing.

My SIL also did two separate showers since her family lives far away. It would have been nice to bring the families together but they were both nice showers.

We had 2 showers. My BMs threw me a more traditional shower and my mil threw us a couples shower. The guest lists only overlapped with bp members.

I'm not but i think two showers are great if you have a lot of family and one shower would be very large

My mom is passed so dont think i will even have 1 shower but i agree that i would rather have 1 not 2.
