Oh my goodness! I think that is a ton! How nice that you have all those people who want to thorw you showers. If the guest list overlaps at all, I would say that becomes too much.
I am having....ZERO showers! People have offered to throw me one or two but I politely declined. I hate being the center of attention! We also already have our home together and don't need more stuff!!
Have fun!
It's a lot, but it's okay as long 1: the guest lists don't overlap and 2: all the guests are invited to the wedding.
i agree with the others, as long as the guests aren't going to multiple showers, it's fine. i'm having one shower. my family/bridal party is hosting it and inviting my friends and my fi's friends and family.
It is a lot but it's okay as long as the guest lists don't overlap and everyone comes to the wedding like cheerful said. Lucky, we didn't have any 
do your families live close together? If so, that's too many, IMO. I think 1 is good, 2 is pushing it, but more than that is crazy. I can see throwing in a church one or a work one, since they're certain groups of people, but people at showers are also invited to the wedding, so you would think that they'd be aquainted soon anyway. Combine some of those suckers!
That is a lot of showers. I am having 3 that I know of -
One for my family and friends (2 hours away)
One for FI's family
One for the church
I agree it is fine as long as the guests aren't all invited to all of them. I would invite your parents to all and your bridal party but let the bridal party know they aren't expected at each.
Lucky you! I don't get any showers :( I think it should be fine, just be really careful with the guest lists - I would not appreciate being invited to several showers for the same person! If you do want to combine some, could your families throw one big shower?
As long as the guest lists do not overlap and all the guests are invited to the wedding you are fine. Do what works for you. I feel like some people on the boards tend to be really judgmental. I'm having four because that is what worked for all our different family and friends. And that was with me turning down shower offers. Nothing is "over the top" if it works for you, your family and your guests. I frankly think it is nicer to have multiple smaller showers than one huge one. I recently had a shower with 22 guests that lasted 4 hours and I barely had a chance to adequately talk to everyone and that made me really sad. Showers are structured - there is eating then games and then presents - as the bride all of that really cuts into your chance to spend time with your guests (which is the most important part of the event!).
You are very fortunate to have so many people want to celebrate you! Enjoy it :)
wwwoooww that's a lot of showers! lol I think We'll have about 3. Gee, I'd love to see your registry! lol

I think you're a lucky girl, and you are surrounded by people that care about you and your FI. I think you shouldn't worry about it and just enjoy this time in your planning.
Would you bees believe my mom had 15 showers when she got married!!! Boy, times have changed.. but thankfully for those showers I have some beautiful xmas spode, crystal, and silver coming my way!!!
We are eloping so I missed out on the shower action, but we're established and have everything we need.
Thats alot of showers! You got some kind people in your family. Why dont you just have one BIG one?!
I agree with other posters who said that it's a lot of showers, but it's OK as long as the guest lists don't overlap.
I dont think its too many. I prefer many small ones to one large one (and I think the guests will too as you open your gifts.) Not to mention- you only do this once, why not celebrate it as many times as you can! You have amazing family and friends- they are so generous!!
I'm hoping to have ZERO showers, unless someone springs a surprise one on me, like at work or something. I hate being the center of attention, and I hate people watching me open gifts - LOL, even at Christmas it is so awkward!!! And besides, we have lived together for 5 years, so we really don't need any of the shower-type gifts anyway.
I think it depends on how many guests will be overlapping and attending multiple showers off that list. Will the two couples showers be held in different places and with different attendees? Are the two bridal showers by friends and by church different groups of people?
I think the best thing if there is a common group of people (Bridesmaids, etc) that will be attending multiple showers then you should make it as easy as possible for them. Try to hold two showers in one weekend. That helps with everyones calendar. Even if you have the shower in the afternoon and the bachelorette party that night. Also, make sure to tell the bridesmaids and others of this common group that you really do not want them to bring a gift to each of these events.
I don't think it's too many. As long as these people want to throw you a shower, then it's fine. It's not like you're asking for them to throw you one! I'm having 4 myself. It's perfectly fine!
Wow, I think that is a lot. Can any of them be combined? Even if the guest list is different for each I think it would be odd to not have some people- like your mom, siblings, bridesmaids at a shower and with that many you definitely can't expect them to attend each one.
Agree that it's okay only if there is no no no guest overlap. If I was in the situation of the two families wanting to throw a shower etc. I'd ask them to just throw a party instead, not calling it a shower would release people from the gift expectation. For the church I'd go with the shower but ask the person organizing it to have a theme like recipies, something cute that requires very little money.

So I think I'm going to have a lot of showers and I am worried about it. I don't know why it worries me though. Here's the list of the showers I think/know will take place:
-couples shower hosted by my family
-couples shower hosted by his family
-bridal shower hosted by co-workers
-bridal shower hosted by friends from church
-bridal shower hosted by friends (non church)
Ahhhhh! Is that a lot of showers? This doesn't include the bachelorette party. I could maybe combine the bridal shower from my non church friends with the bachelorette.
How many showers are you having? or How many did you have?
