Weddingbee boards

Since January 1st hit. It HIT ME. WOW - im getting married in 4 months!! So much to do. Yadda yadda, freak out begins. However, as I begun to think of all there was to do. I started thinking... there has been no talk of a bridal shower. hmmmm..... Now, this isnt me saying "throw me a party, throw me a party" its just curiosity. How far out did you bees have your shower?? Did you say anything to your MOH about it??

Mine has been a pretty good MOH, saying that she will help with things. Sometimes she helps, sometimes she doesnt. Overall, id give her a B. But, im just curious about what the rest of the hive did/ when theirs was.

Shoot - i mean, if its one less thing I have to do, i MIGHT be ok with that. lol.

Thanks ladies!!! So pretty much, it could be anywhere between 4 months to 4 weeks out. I was just wondering really. Ya know, with never being married before! haha.

Mine is in 2 days and my wedding is in 10 days so a week before!

The main reason is because one of my bridesmaids is coming over from Australia and doesn't get here until Friday so it will be this Saturday.

Maybe ask your MOH if she needs a list of people you want there?  My sister is my MOH, and lives 8 hours away so she doesn't really know my work friends, FI's auntys and female cousins etc so I gave her a list of everyone I want there and she took it from there.

That brings up a good point nzgirl who all DO you have at your Bridal Shower?? lol. I mean, obviously close friends and what not -- but do you invite like every female that your inviting to the wedding?? The weird cousins who I dont really like, but I HAVE to invite or my mother will shun me forever. Do I HAVE to invite creepy cousin to the bridal shower?? lol. or FI's extended family??

Or just stay close friends and fam??

@MeganTacky2247: I am just having the people I am close to.  We live 10 mins from a lot of FI's cousins and auntys and see them weekly, whereas he has other cousins who live hours away that I never see so they are not coming!

Basically all the females I am comfortable with without FI around - or ones that would call/text me without going through FI!

@nzgirl I have to say that i LOVE that reasoning!!! People who you feel comfortable around and people that you basically already have in your cell phone. lol. LOVE IT!!

THANKS!! :D

Having multiple parties actually.

3 months out: family in my home town

2 months out: folks from work

1 month out (jack and jill version): friends and family where we live that can't make the wedding

So for me the guest list won't overlap, but allows everyone their chance to celebrate with us

Mine was 2 months before the wedding, it was a total surprise to me, so maybe they are planning one and you are just completely clueless like I was :)

I heard a rumor that mine is going to be in Feb of 2013, so 2ish months prior to the wedding. 

Mine were around 2 months before - October 23rd and November 6th and we got married 12/31.

My MOH is planning it for February 26th & my wedding is April 21st.

I got engaged in September 2011 and am getting married in March 2012.

I am originally from Sacramento but live three hours away from there, so my mom and MOH are having a hometown bridal showed in mid Februaru, and a BM/Best friend is throwing me one in early February.  I would suggest it to your mom or MOH, just ask, "Hey, have you thought about if we should have a bridal shower?"

I got lucky, my MOH approached me and asked how she can help and if she should plan a showed...made it easy!

I live out of state so the only time mine COULD be is 2 months out from the wedding....but I'm hoping it never happens! My FMIL/FSIL want to do one despite my wishes, but when I told them no games I think it finally made them reconsider lol...
