Do you know anything about it?
What are you planning on wearing considering it might still be chilly outside?
What’s the best way to be stay prepared for a surprise Bridal Shower?

@Merlin29: My sister let me know the date, because she’s awesome like that. One of my friends knew she was having a surprise shower and spent every weekend for a month in a nice party dress.
@Merlin29: My Bridesmaids worked with me to select a date because my busy season at work is February through April. It’s going to be March 15th, other than that I don’t know any details!
I’m having mine the last weekend of March, I’m trying to move it to the middle of April though, so it’s a little closer to the wedding.
I have a few white dresses to chose from 🙂
i HATE surprises so i asked to be told the date, time, and location. other than that im in the dark!
@tinaisodd: I hate not knowing too! And this time of year so difficult to know what to wear!
@Merlin29: I was just told that mine is march 23rd and where it is…other than that I have no idea what they’re planning! And the only reason I got that much info is because everyone knows I basically live in yoga pants and no makeup on the weekends so I would definitely not be “surprise party ready” lol!
@Merlin29: oh and as for outfit I got a black and white lace dress that would look just as cute bare legged as it would with black opaque tights, booties, and a cardigan!
I UNFORTUNATELY DON’T EVEN THINK I WILL HAVE A BRIDAL SHOWER. I KEEP SAYING ITS OK WITH ME NOT TO HAVE ONE BUT IN MY HEART OF HEART I WILL BE A LITTLE BIT UPSET AND SAD IF MY FIANCÉ’S DAUGHTERS WHO HAVE BEEN PART OF MY LIFE FOR 25 YEARS DON’T ORGANIZE A LITTLE GET TOGETHER. I KNOW THEY DON’T KNOW ANY OF MY FRIENDS SO I DON’T EXPECT THEM TO CALL ANY OF MY FRIENDS TO ORGANZIE A BRIDAL SHOWERi . I HAVE A FRIEND WHO TALKED TO ME ABOUT ORGANIZING ONE BUT THIS FRIEND LIVES AT LEAST TWO HOURS FROM MY HOUSE AND IT WOULD JUST BE TOO DIFFICULT FOR HER TO GET THE WHOLE THING HAPPENING. OTHER THAN THAT I REALLY DON’T THINK MY SO CALLED BEST FRIEND WILL MAKE ANY EFFORT TO ORGANIZE A BRIDAL SHOWER FOR ME. WHEN I TOLD HER I WAS GETTING MARRIED, FOUR DAYS LATER SHE CALLED ME AND SAID: “SORRY, I HAVE TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE, BUT I’M GETTING MARRIED TOO”. OH REALLY, I THOUGHT. HOW COME NOW. YOU’VE BEEN WITH YOUR PARTNER FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS AND YOU STILL HAVEN’T GOTTEN MARRIED BUT BECAUSE I TOLD YOU I WAS, NOW YOU DECIDE TO GET MARRIED TOO??? NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS UPSET AT HER. LAST WEEK WHEN I WAS TALKING TO HER ABOUT MY WEDDING PLANNING, SHE SAID ” I HAVE TO GET MARRIED IN 2014. I’M THINKING OF MARCH OR APRIL!. AGAIN, i THOUGHT, WELL OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO GET MARRIED BEFORE ME. WHAT’S NEW???”
SOMETIMES I THINK ITS BECAUSE I’M 55 YEARS OLD, HAVE BEEN WITH MY PARTNER FOR 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED THAT THOSE AROUND ME DON’T THINK ITS IMPORTANT THAT I HAVE A BRIDAL SHOWER. WHAT CAN I SAY?? IF I DON’T EXPECT ANYTHING, THEN I GUESS I WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE IN MY SITUATION? AM I BEING CHILDISH ABOUT THIS BRIDAL SHOWER THING?
@Artificial-Sweetener: Mine is also the last weekend of March.
@Merlin29: I have no idea what I will be wearing, probably some dress I already have, it will be warm in Charleston in late March.
Mine will be the second week of March. I’ve collected a few white dresses and skirts, so I’ll just pick one of those to wear.
I’ll be having a Bachelorette and couples shower in March. Then there might be a small shower right before the wedding to include family.
I am having a shower in NYC on February 15th, and a hometown Maryland shower march 1st. Kinda soon, but very exciting! My mom sometimes sends me sale dresses, and she just sent me the cutest white Betsey Johnson dress!
I’m having a shower in the city I live in on Feb. 22 and one in FI’s hometown on March 15. I have two ivory lace dress options that I ordered online but haven’t tried on. Need to get on that!
