     Shower timing?  

Hello

My bfs family is looking forward to a very busy summer next year. The brother is getting married June 28th and a sister is getting married August 1st. There has been a buzz and questions about what to do about the showers. We don't want to tie up weekends for the entire summer and dont know how to plan the showers. The brother got engaged first and is getting married first. Should the sisters bridal shower be after both the brothers future wifes shower and wedding or just after the bridal shower? We surely don't want to step on any toes! Thanks so much for any advice

Dear Sarah,

Family wouldn't host these unless they are also attendants.

If a friend or attendants wish to host a shower, the brother's shower would be hosted first, about two months or no less than two weeks before the wedding. His sister's would be hosted similarly.

It would have been better and more fair to guests if her wedding had been scheduled a few weeks or more later.

Best wishes,

Tell me about it! There are several unhappy people now that the sister has planned her wedding so close to the brothers! I better start saving my pennies for all these expenses!

Thanks.

Just a reminder that family doesn't host showers unless they are part of the bridal party. Plus, showers are optional events.
