Just out of curiousity why are you involved with the planning??
secondly are you out of your mind? the day before the wedding you will more likely than not be up to your eyeballs with things to do and if not then you shoudl get yourself some rest fo the next day!!
MrsLoveB..
Im not involved...my MOH is planning the shower along with the help of my mom..since its at my parents house. My MOH asked me when I wanted to do it...we also came up with a guest list of who I wanted to invite that included my friends (who do not live where I live) my aunts who live in a different country, my FI aunts, his mom and sister, and a few other people. And based on this list NOBODY would show if it I didnt have it the friday before.
And Im not really worried about the day before with being up into my eyeballs with things to do...everything will pretty much be done. I think I can take 3 hrs out of my day to have a shower...and then in the evening have our rehearsal.
Ive known other brides that had there shower the day before and it worked out fine.
I was involved with picking my shower date and giving the hostess the guest list. I don't see how that's odd.
I'd personally try to have it on another date. Could Thursday work?
I would try and have it on another day. You never know what could happen the day before your wedding so you might want to have that time free for unforeseen circumstances.
Thursday could work for me....If more people fly in Early then yes Id consider having it on that Thursday.
If your family can't fly in Thursday, I'd say just go for Friday! It's more important that the people you care about are there!
i would try and do it thursday as well. i feel like friday you will be too overwhelmed thinking about everything else going on that you won't really have time to enjoy it!
Not even having anything to do with amount of work left - but thats cutting it clsoe for guest gifts. Theyre going to see a wide open registry and you mightned up getting a lot of dupolicates. Truly I think you should pick the other date. Those that cant attend might send a gift, but dont do it so close to the wedding
I don't think I'd be able to enjoy my shower if it was the day before the wedding. Try for Thursday if at all possible.
Agree with KellyV - as a general etiquette rule, your shower shouldn't be any closer than roughly 6 wks before your wedding. Otherwise your guests are getting you gifts too close together.
I think that if you're comfortable, you should do it then. I'm the same way (well actually I'm having no shower, but...) my mom, sister, everybody is out of town so the only way we'd have time to do it is if it was right before the wedding - kind of why I turned it down.
I had a bridal lingerie shower thrown for me the thursaday night before the wedding because it was when everyone would be in town. I was glad for all my OOT friends and family that were able to be there that couldnt come to any other of our wedding related parties.

I was thinking of having my bridal shower the Friday before my wedding (the day before the wedding).....my shower would be around 11am to 2pm (Serving Brunch).
I reasoning for doing it the day before is then my FI mom and sister and my aunts and my friends would all be there and will be able to attend....if I do it any other day i would have almost no one show up for my shower.
