shower

my wedding is in late April..

i want my shower in Novemeber....

u think its too early?

my reasons for Novemeber.. i dont want to risk a snow storm havng it in dec,jan,feb

March is too close to the wedding

and dec,jan,feb = holiday season.

so what are your thoughts?

Re: shower

I dont see it as an issue...Just let whoever is planning the shower know thats what you want

Re: shower

That is really early. I think its usually 2 to 4 months before, but technically there are no rules. Do whatever you feel comfortable with!

I'm guessing this is not a suprise shower?

Re: shower

As long as the shower isn't 6 months before, i think november could work. IMO, i think November is a little warly for me. My wedding is in April too and having the shower in january or february would be better for me.

Re: shower

IMO for an April wedding i don't think November is a good time to have the shower. i personally feel thats way too far in advance. plus many people may be under a lot of pressure with the upcoming holidays. i think you would be better off having it january or february. you may even get more registry items with after the holiday sales.

i think november would be fine-ive gone to events in november before and i never skimped on gifts because of the holidays

better not be on the same date as mine lol
j/k or am I

so seriously...If i were you I would probably do Feb...its just as close to the holidays as november is. I just think that it is a little early but sere what your bridal party says

Oh gawd,.....Talking of the showers is giving me anxiety!!!

Re: shower

I don't think it's too early since you have logical reasons for doing so!

Re: shower

I think you should have it for the month you like best. Late November would be good that way it doesn't seem to early but this also good b/c it's before the holidays and gives people a chance to recover before your wedding. You can do the bachelorette party closer to the wedding.

I'll plan your bachelorette party Barbs!!!!

I think Nov is fine...but I also think that Jan/Feb would be fine. Do it when you want to...forget the rules!!!

Oh, please tell me that your BP is doing this for you (that is of course if you want one)? Wait, but I think I remember you saying the BP is small and one of them is really young. Either way, I don't think there's anything wrong with planning your stuff. I definitely want a lot of input.
