Fi and I wanted to have our bridal shower on June 18 a Saturday because he works on Sundays. My mom notified me that is also fathers day weekend. I'm not very close with my dad, however I'm thinking of my relatives and friends that are.
Is this a bad weekend? Do you normally have bbqs or get-togethers on that Saturday or Sunday? I wouldn't mind pushing is back a week to the 25 but I'm not sure? Thanks ladies :)

    We normally do things on Sunday, but if it's not an inconvenience for your family/friends to have the shower the next weekend, I don't think it's a bad idea at all.  Not the end of the world though--a few hours in the afternoon the day before Fathers' Day is not terrible.  It's nice of you to consider that!

    I would not attend a bridal shower on Sunday, Father's Day but I don't see a problem attending a shower on Saturday.  In the end, I think the following weekend is probably the best alternative.

    I do things with my dad on Fathers day but not normally on Saturday. However, if it is not a big deal, I would push it back one weekend. Some people might do camping trips or stuff with their grandparents that day.

    Will most of your guests be local? If so, I don't think it's a big deal to have it on the Saturday.

    I don't think it's a big deal to have it on a Saturday. My wedding day is June 18th and I haven't heard a single person talk about it being Father's Day the next day.

    We had a shower on a Saturday this past September.  We chose Saturday moreso because the bride was from out of town and had to fly out again on Sunday.  I cannot tell you how many guests made a point of telling me how much they preferred attending on a Saturday!  I think it's because for so many working people, Sunday is devoted to church, family, and "re-organizing" for the work week.

    You may actually find this to be the case for your situation as well!
