Hey ladies …
So I am a BM in my best friend’s wedding, which is this upcoming May. Yesterday she called to tell me that she and her Fi decided to cancel their church/banquet hall wedding in our hometown and have now decided to get married in Vegas (to save $). They are planning to only invite their immediate family and bridal party to Vegas and then plan on hosting a large party in the summer and will invite everyone who was originally on their guest list. And as of right now the party is supposed to be very informal, potluck and BYOB.
I, along with the other BM’s had originally planned to host the bridal shower for the bride. But now that she and her FI are getting married in Vegas and only inviting the bridal party to be there for the ceremony, should we even be throwing a bridal shower for her at all?
I don’t think its proper etiquette to host a bridal shower and invite people who aren’t even going to be invited to the ceremony and are only going to be invited the party in the summer. Some of the other BM’s disagree and still want to host a shower for her this April. I’m sure that regardless of what etiquette dictates in this situation we are still going to host a shower for her b/c the other BM’s seem to be operating on a majority rule system.
What’s the deal ladies … Let me hear it!
