I think you should see how the baby shower goes. If it makes up for the lack of girl-time before the wedding, then you're set. If not, you can plan a girls weekend or something either before or after the baby is born.
I never had a shower or a bachelorette party. Sort of makes me sad but it's nothing I can change now. I'm not sure if I will ever have a baby so who knows if I will have any big party like that.
My group of girlfriends get together every so often for game night or a brunch, invite your girls over to your new house and spend some time with them before the baby arrives. Since they live out of state maybe you can plan it the same weekend as the shower.
That stinks that you didn't get your Bachlorette. I'd plan a girls weekend somewhere. As for folks coming to your hair apointment, no one came with me to mine either and we couldn't have had the photog that early so that was one thing that I let go of rather quick. Maybe you could get a mani/pedi with a friend right before your due date?
I didn't have a bachelorette party before my first wedding 10 years ago. I have to admit I am still a little disappointed. The only solution was to get a divorce and get remarried. Hahaha! (Really, I'm kidding.)
I think you should definitely plan a pre-baby night out. It is a perfect excuse to party and have it be about you.

So, feel free to say "get over it"! For some reason, one thing I can't let go is my lack of a bachelorette party. Hubs got to do a bachelor party I think on a Thursday. Sure it was laid back, but he had one. Friday night, the ladies were just going to catch a movie or something, since I knew I'd be exhausted. Well, short story is rehearsal went late and there was still work to do, so we had to cancel.
Long story paragraph if you want details, otherwise skip! A lot of my lovelies are from out of state. So, Friday was the only good option. Well, even though hubs got his party, he dropped the ball on some of his "week of" duties, so my Friday was SOOOOO stressful rushing around. Plus, his Bro/SIL were 30 minutes late to the rehearsal, so we had a late start on our night. (They were the only wedding party members who live by us!) So, I thought I would be able to sleep...I'm a GOOD sleeper, but it was such a wreck that day I barely slept and had to crawl in bed w/ my sister! (luckily everything worked out w/ only a small amnt of DIY getting dropped) I also had invited ladies to my nail apptmt Friday & my hair apptmt Saturday (big day). Only 3 ppl came to nails and only ONE BM (out of 4) AND NO FAMILY came to my updo apptmt. (I'm so jealous of everyone who has cute getting ready photos, and it's a bonding experience. When I was a BM, I always got ready with the bride if that was an option.)
So, for some reason I feel like this still bothers me. Now that I'm pregnant, I know I probably won't have that same sort of girls day again, so I'm not sure if I should just move on...if the baby shower stuff will kind of be that girl bonding I longed for, or if I should throw some sort of random party before baby comes....any thoughts? I really don't want to be a resentful person, but it still sometimes bothers me that DH got his day, then him and his family caused multiple things to happen that made me not able to have mine.
