All of the showers I have been to, the bridal shower and bach party were all in one. Since I have been talking to other brides, I realized that some people do them as two different events. What are you ladies doing?
My MOH's and BM's decided to find a place to rent that we can have all day. The first half will be the shower, where we play games and stuff. The second half will be the party, where we drink, have the stripper, etc... This way, my elderly and conservative guests can celebrate with me, but they don't have to witness the "raunchy" part.
My only concern is when do I open the gifts? I want to open them during the "shower" part so my conservative guests can see my gifts, but I know all of my gifts won't be conservative (if you know what I mean). I would hate for my grandmother to see me open some lube or something. Any suggestions?

Good question!!! My shower and bachelorette party was 3 weeks agao. The shower was at a rented facility from 2-6pm and my bachelorette party was from 8-until in my aunts basement. What my bridal party did was send bridal shower invitations to everybody and put a special note inside to those who were invited to the "after party". Normally, you wouldn't get gifts at the bachelorette party because those same guests would have already given you a gift at the shower. Open up all the gifts at the shower. Most people, including the conservative guests know that you will get some kinky and freaky gifts.
Well, well, well, who do we have here? Heeeeeeey honey! How are you doing? lol
Bossy sorry for sounding stupid but it sounds liek your wedding is very close...when is it again, I don't see it in your siggy.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
June 9th. Very, very, very close. 3 weeks from this Friday coming. I'm sweating for her. lol
Oh my...yes she is close...very close.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

I think it's easier to have them both on the same day.

I agree.

I agree it will make so much more easier if you have them both - but I guess it only depends on family and friends - they may surprise you with both at different times....or they may shock you and come together and have a huge splash!!!...the ball is in their court at this point.

I've been here. Atleast once a day. Sometimes no posting, just seeing what's going on, but I'm here.
This wedding is so close, I can't believe it. Everything is done, but I want everything to be perfect so I keep going over every little detail when I should just be relaxing these last 3 weeks.
Well, all your hard work will be rewarded with a fabulous event! 3 weeks girl, be easy, relax your mind now.
Living my life like it's GOLDEN!!
Congratulations Bossie....your right to go over everything, sometimes we tend to forget the little things and sometimes those little things are so important.
So check your list and check it twice....one or two of those things may not have been nice :-)
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
What a blessing Bossie, I am so happy for you!

Although I said I wouldn't, I am starting to get nervous. Not because I am getting married, but because I want everything perfect.
Bossie everything thing will be as your heart desires! All the best to you and future hubby!!!

I am so scared I will walk in the reception and see that my cake is wop sided.
Bossie I know what you mean. It's gonna be just find. I told people if things go wrong or there's some minor issue not to let me know until a day or so later. lol

I know that's right! LOL! That will be my mantra on my wedding day.
I'm a married woman as of December 2, 2006.

Yeah, the worst thing you can do is tell a bride smething and get her all upset. Keep it to yourself. I was in my cousin's wedding a few weeks ago and her photographer didn't show up until the 3:00 when the wedding started. We were at the church scheduled to take pictures at 1:00. My other cousin(the bride's sister) called her in the limo to tell her that the photographer had not shown up. We blasted her and told her that you never tell a bride that anything is wrong on her wedding day. The crazy thing was that the photographer was her cousin and her father owns the business(of course he couldn't do it because he escorted her).
The lesson "Never hire a relative" (unless you know that you can trust them)
