Bridal shower

For those of you on a 2nd wedding, are you having a bridal shower?
Thank you!

I honestly don't know. When I was first engageded my mom had asked how we were going to do showers and engegment parties (we live quite far away from our families). So far neither has happened which doesn't bother me.

We are moving closer to his family and our wedding location next month though so maybe there will be a shower on his side of the family. My family will not likely travel that far for a shower, its questionable if they will even come to the wedding.

His parents have requested that we register for gifts so who knows.

Either way it doesn't matter much to me. I would be happy to have one, but won't be crushed if I don't.

Nope

We didn't.  But then again, I nixed the idea for my first wedding, too.  If someone offers to throw you one, you can accept or reject.

Friends of ours want to host one so we said yes. I didn't have one the first time around so this will be fun!

We are not. We have to incorporate the "stuff" from 2 homes into one. I've always asked for things like sheets & towels for the holidays & birthdays, so I don't need anything.

It's a personal decision depending on how much stuff you have, and how much you need. It's really not about etiquette and whether you had one the first time around. If someone offers to throw one, you can say yes or no, or maybe recommend a different sort of party that you'd want that would be more meaningful.

Well, I won't have a bridal shower, but my friends in italy want to throw one "Lingerie Shower"and I am very amused by this idea!! Here in US my friends, mostly from my church want to do something else, and I've told them that I am OK with it as long as is not a traditio nal Bridal Shower because as Sue said on the previous post, we have to merge a lot of stuff from both houses into one...and we both have tons of stuff!!1

My coworkers threw me a shower - and that was great... because that's what we do at work.

Future SD asked about making me a shower but I said it wasn't necessary.

Yes, absolutely.  As my daughter said, you need to finally be getting rid of all your raggedy sheets and towels!  We too, are combining two households.  But I have had some stuff for as long as 32 years and so has he so it is time to refresh a little bit I think.  I did register, but not for anything that I already have that is pefectly good.  But a pretty new comforter, some sheets, towels, wine glasses, etc., yes, I would like to let my friends and family "shower" me with these items if they'd like.

My sisters are hosting a shower for me in a few weeks. I was married in the courthouse the first time around and had no wedding related parties at all.
I'm excited because I have a desperate need for towels and sheets as I lost most of them in a flood. Been holding off buying new for a few months and my son and I are using beach towels. I didn't register for fine china, or expensive things, just things I really need, and a few wish list items.

Absolutely not. And I'm a young widow, not divorced. It's really, really poor etiquette. My MOH wants to throw me one, but I'm adamantly against it, and have said I'd rather do a spa/lunch with my girls.
