When to Have a Bridal Shower<\/b><\/h2>\n

While you can have a bridal shower any time you like, it’s best not to host this party too close to the wedding or too far in advance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning it too early can be difficult because you may not have the guest list ready. You may not yet know your budget and who you want to include. For example, will all the guests be invited or will you limit it to members of the bridal party, wedding party, or bachelorette party? Planning the bridal shower too late can result in many issues. For one, it can be hard to secure a venue and vendors. Second, it can take the focus away from the wedding day.<\/span><\/p>\n

In most cases, hosting the bridal shower between three weeks and five months before the wedding is ideal. With this time frame, guests have plenty of time to make arrangements to attend, and the planners have enough time to set up vendors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best way to decide on when to have a bridal shower is to talk with the bride-to-be since the date needs to work with their schedule. You should also decide who is hosting the bridal shower. Oftentimes, the maid of honor or a bridesmaid hosts the big event. Other couples prefer to have the mother of the bride or the mother-in-law host the bridal shower. Close friends and family members can also plan the party. Figure out who is hosting and work with the bride to pick the perfect day for the bridal shower.<\/span><\/p>\n
