Bridal shower questions

in Washington-Seattle

So how many bridal showers are normally held? My MOH is throwing me on the first of April while she's here (she lives OOS) but not all my friends will be able to make the drive (2-hrs) to get to it. 

IMOH won't be back in state until week before the wedding, so I am thinking of asking a good friend if she can put together one closer to the wedding for those who can't make it to the first. 

Tacky or practical?

    Since you're having a 200+ guestlist (indicated in another post today), I think it is 100% okay to have two Bridal Showers.  I just would try to not invite anyone (or very few people) to both Showers.

    I'm having four (!!) to make them all reasonably sized, and to cater to different groups.  I'm not sure about asking a friend to host one, though ... my hosts all asked if they could host a shower, so I tried to separate out guests in reasonable groups.  A few people were unable to come to the first one and did ask if there was another one they could attend (I wasn't going to mention it) so there are a few duplicate guests, but there shouldn't be anyone other than the moms and maids at all my showers.

    I like the idea of catering to different groups of people - with me I've had people from 4 different states ask if there will be one just before the wedding (they want to come early to attend).

    The friend who I was going to ask has actually already brought it up to see if my MOH needs help since she's OOS and I could have my BridesM help her (my BridesM has never been to a bridal shower before).

    Thanks ladies for your thoughts - I appreciate it!

    I think it's fine to have several. I'm having at least two, my mom'sfriend is throwing one and then my MOH (sister) is throwing a lingerie shower for  the younger crowd only.

    I had 2. And it's totally practical. The only ones who came to both were the ones who knew about both, so family and close family friends, and only by their own choosing they came to both. One party was for my wild and crazy friends and we got trashed. And the second one had my grandma and older relatives. And my god girl a 200+ guest list! I do not envy you. Have a blast at your showers cause you're gonna make out like a bandit in gifts! Now THAT I envy! Enjoy! Wink
