Bridal Shower & Bachelorette Party on the same day??

Hi Knotties!

So my mom is planning my bridal shower and my bridesmaids are hosting my bachelorette party the weekend after.

Since I have out of town guests (3 of 5 bridesmaids), I suggested having the bachelorette party the evening of the bridal shower. The bridal shower is held at 12pm on a Saturday.

Is this too much in one weekend?? I wanted to be more accommodating for out of town bridesmaids, but not sure how people would react to being invited to both parties for the same day, and if that limits some people.


What are your thoughts if you got both invites??

What are your thoughts if they were your parties??


Thanks so much for any advice!!

    I don't see any reason why you couldn't do it the same day... 

    Kind of weird, but my bridal shower is going to be the day before the wedding.  Literally all but maybe 2 people invited are from out of town, so it's either that, or not get one at all.

    Do what works for you and your guests...  everyone will understand!

    I think it's completely fine and I'm sure your OOT bridesmaids will appreciate it.

    My cousin did it this way and it was perfect.  It was a great day filled of wedding stuff!  They made it a whole day event and got dinner in between. 

    I'm doing it all in one weekend as well for OOT guests.  We'll be doing the b-party on a friday, girls spa day on saturday with just my BM's and mom and then the bridal shower on sunday so they will be getting flights back sunday evening/monday morning.

    We did that for my sister's wedding because she was coming from OOT.  It worked out well, though the break in between the shower and the Bparty was a little awkward (not as in feeling, just as in filling time), but it still worked out okay in the end.  I think it's a great solution to be able to have people come to both...

    That's how my shower/bachelorette party was.

    It worked out great (my OOT BM's stayed with me) so after the shower we all came back and napped before going out.
