I was just curious as to what should take place first, the Engagement Party or the Bridal Shower? My fiance and I are choosing to go with an Engagement Party rather than a stag, so my family gets a chance to sit, talk and get to know him, rather than going with a stag which is more impersonal. Here is the situation: We are getting married mid Sept 07, he is American (I Canadian) and he won't be relocating here until July 07 permanently. It's customary that an Engagement Party involve both Bride & Groom and the Bridal Shower just the Bride, so I was wondering a few things. First if late June is too early for a Bridal Shower and if it would be ok to hold that prior to the engagement party? To me it makes sense to have the engagement party first, however we also wondered if we did the Engagement Party mid July, Bridal Shower mid Aug and Wedding mid Sept, if that's too "together". Any suggestions would help, either past experiences, or just knowledge of how it should go. Thanks in advance
