So we're planning to have the shower at the beginning of August, then a few nights before the actually wedding we're going to have the Bachelor-Bachelorette parties ;) ! All these months give you a lot of time to plan, be organized and tell people ahead of time. I'd say since it's usually popular to make it earlier, perhaps even June-July? It's really up to you and the people you invite, everyone has different schedules. Hope that helps dear. xoxo Just remember, don't stress, have fun with it all. These will be the most joyus and fun days of your life :D !  Mrs.D-To-Be on "September Brides: When is your shower?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/september-brides-when-is-your-shower#post-3223054 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:21:45 +0000 Mrs.D-To-Be 3223054@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ Hi September 2012 brides! When are y'all having your bridal shower? I'm trying to figure out if it's too early for me to start the conversation with my MOH about it. I'm guessing summer is the best/most appropriate time for it. Thanks!!

I have only been to one shower where the bride opened actual gifts. Whenever someone in my family receives gifts they are put to the side to be opened once all the guests have left, this is just how it's done! OP, I think you did the right thing. If she did bring a gift once she sees your thank you note she will hopefully say something!  village_skeptic on "No shower gift from friend - Do I confront her?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/no-shower-gift-from-friend-do-i-confront-her#post-3213283 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:22:53 +0000 village_skeptic 3213283@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <a href="#post-3213266">@ViaMinorViator:</a>  I'm not sure what your point here is. The OP has repeatedly stated that she just wants to make sure that she doesn't create a social faux pas by not acknowledging a gift if there was one.

(5 friends, 2 brought  wrapped 3 envelopes) So what am I supposed to do? Unwrap 12 presents and wave a bunch of cash around? With over 3000 posts you contributed to the hive, I would think that you would know by now to respect differences in people and culture, not jump to conclusions and automatically assume someone is "gift-grabby" and rude. 2ndtime on "No shower gift from friend - Do I confront her?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/no-shower-gift-from-friend-do-i-confront-her#post-3213212 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:04:31 +0000 2ndtime 3213212@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ No.  If she had walked in with an envelope/gift for you she would have asked your mom where to put it.  If she had forgotten to give it to you and wanted you to have it, she would have contacted you.  You can thank her for coming because that is what she did.   atalante on "No shower gift from friend - Do I confront her?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/no-shower-gift-from-friend-do-i-confront-her#post-3213162 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:54:45 +0000 atalante 3213162@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ I really don't think gift expectation is the OP's point here. Like she said in her OP (and the second: "What if we really did lose it? Then she’ll get offended when in my thank you card I only thank her for her presence and not for her generosity. At this point, whether or not she gave me a gift is irrelevant, I really don’t care. I just want to make sure I give her the proper acknowledgement on the thank you card."
