  I guess when I first think about it, two days before seems kind of crazy. And personally I think I'd be a little nervous doing it. I feel like I may just be stressed out to the max, thinking "I should be going over this again or going over that", two days before. But on the other hand, if you are more calm headed, and are pretty sure you will have most everything done, it could work. Especially if you really want your MOH there

  Do you have a lot of out of town guests that would be coming to both? Because that could work for you or against you. On one hand, it would save them a second trip in. But on the other it would also cost them to get a hotel room for a few nights, in order to stay through your wedding

  We've had Sam's Club do cakes for our office parties before and they've come out well- no complaints from me.  Will they let you do a tasting?  I think as long as you get to try the cakes and know what you're getting for your money, that's a good route.

  
  

  I feel (this is totally my own opinion) that two days before the wedding is not the right time for your shower.  It's supposed to be fun and stress-free - how are you going to be able to enjoy that with two days until the wedding day?  You're going to need that time to finalize last minute details and get everything ready.  Your shower shouldn't be rushed... you're only having one.

  yes, definitely seems crazy.  I'm sure you'll have enough last minute details going on, that it will be hard to relax and enjoy the shower...or it can be a nice break from the stressful last minute details?

   

   

  I got a cake there for a baby shower which turned out good, no problems.

  Yeah, I talked to MOH and she is sad she would be missing it, but she said she also understands.  And in all honesty, there would only be a few people who wouldn't be able to make it.  It would be my SIL, my brother's gf, MOH (obviously), maternal grandma, and step-mom.  Although, as I'm writing those names out, they are important people who I'm sure would love to be there for it.  My mom and I are trying to get everything planned way ahead of time so we aren't worried about little details before the wedding.  It could work if it is kept simple and fun.  Maybe we could just hold it at a pizza parlor friday evening.  I'll still mull it around. 
  
  As for Sam's Club, thank you ladies for input.  The ladies at my knitting/crochet group all raved about Sam's Club, but I just wanted to make sure

  I think it would be crazy o have your shower two days before. I say this because arent you also having your bach party just a couple days before too?? I would also continue on with your plan to find a nother cake baker, thats stress  you don't need( worrying about whether they will cancel on you becasue of them selling) That happened to me, I was told flat out. we're not sure what will happen over the next few months so you can wait and see or you can find anouther person.

  I think two days before the wedding might be a little much for the shower too. Not just because you will have a lot to do, but that's a lot of stuff for your guests also. It's a lot of time and money all in one week for your wedding. If you end up doing that I would definitely keep it pretty small and mostly just close family because I would think they would be the ones who wouldn't mind.

  I did want to provide a quick update.  I talked to my mom yesterday on the phone and I told her that I totally understand where she is coming from wanting a bridal shower when everyone is in town, but at the same time that is a lot to add to an already full weekend.  Plus we would be taking up another day in everyone's weekend who is local.  So we are going to do a bridal shower in March when my mom will be in town, and then maybe a mini one of some kind for just the out of town ladies.  Otherwise, all the out of town ladies will be at the rehearsal dinner as well, so we will be together then.  My mom seemed very happy with the idea, and she is pleased.  Also one of my local friends will help my mom plan things, so she has my mom's email.  So all is well!
