My best friend was planning a traditional wedding (but had not yet set a date) but after her fiance had some medical problems they decided very suddenly (5 days out) to get married outside with only very close friends and family present. Fortunately I was able to attend and was thrilled to be finally witnessing their marriage. They do still plan to have a big wedding/party etc at a later date in keeping with their original wedding plans. My question is: what is the etiquette on having a bridal shower and/or bachelorette party for her. She is my best friend and I had been planning to organize these once she had set a wedding date. Because of the quickness of the actual wedding I obviously didn't get a chance to do something ahead of time. Can I still have them? Should I still have them? And how would you do it differently knowing that they are already married? Thanks!!!
