I'm having a wedding where 95% of our guests and family don't live here(Colorado) and don't all live in the same place. My wedding party and I have been and will be travelilng a lot for the wedding parties (engagement, wedding dress shopping, bachlorette and bridal). My WP suggested that I have the bridal shower the day before my wedding because everyone will already be in town which means one less additional travel trip. My only worry is that guests will then have to bring 2 gifts with them (which I think is asking too much for the two day time frame, unless you think they should just do one gift) and also it will probably be a hectic day anyway with rehersal and other last minute wedding things. The other suggestion was to have it after the wedding a few months later, which I think would be strange since we'll already be married.
Thoughts??
