My friend's daughter had only one pre-wedding shower, as the person hosting a second shower backed out at the last minute. There were gtuests left off of the first list with the intention of inviting them to the second shower (step-moms that don't get along with biological mom, etc.). Another friend and I had offered to host the second shower when the first host backed out.....but we ran out of time. Can we host a post wedding party/shower for her? What is proper? We really would like to do this for her....but aren't sure of etiquette.
No, hosting at this point wouldn't be proper. Showers are optional events anyway. Leave it as water under the bridge.
If youy wanted to host a small get together to welcome the bride into the family or to congratulate her on her wedding you could certainly have an afternoon tea of any other informal event. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I completely agree. It just may appear as if the bride wants more wedding gifts. Plus, it should be her friends that would host, not her mother's. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
Post bridal shower?
