You don't give your own bridal shower. A bridal shower is given by the brides friends or family (depending on your culture) and is intended to provide the basic necessity's to run a household. Wedding gifts are supposed to be something a bit more formal. Kitchen towels vs china. Every culture is different but the fact remains that you don't give yourself a shower, that's pretty tacky. Why not just send out a request for a gift and save yourself the time and money of feeding them?

Yes it should be ok, as long as everyone knows upfront that you are having a destination wedding. The standard rule is, whoever is invited to the shower is also invited to the wedding, but destination weddings are an exception.

If you wanted you could have a small party when you got back, like a mini reception, that way your new husband could be involved too and it would give your family a chance to celebrate your new marriage. Just a thought. :)

Absolutely! Although traditionally, the wedding takes place in the Bride's hometown. If you're doing a destination wedding, be sure to invite all the shower guests to the wedding (you don't have to pay for them to go, just be sure to invite them). Do not throw the shower for yourself - have a close friend or the maid of honor do it for you. You're a smart one for flying off in the sunset to have your wedding! Maybe convey to the shower giver you'd like to have a luau or tropical type shower to share the vibe with your guests!

You on no account EVER EVER ask for money or presents on invites. Registry documents would desire to be unfold with the aid of word of mouth, and a similar is going for the different sort of present. My husband and that i lived jointly for 3 years before we've been given married, so we had each and every thing we would have liked additionally. At our jack and jill social gathering associates and kin gave us present enjoying cards, and my aunt-in-regulation who threw the social gathering had a probability for a contemporary basket and gave us the money from the value ticket sales (it became into an exceedingly lovable, relaxing concept). notwithstanding, it is in very undesirable style to make point out of any sort of present on invites. tell your closest associates and kin to unfold the word. ETA: Sorry if that got here off mean, it wasn't meant to. purely attempting to grant you with a warning, human beings many times get very gentle on the subject of wedding ceremony etiquette, and the fewer drama you have around you in this time the extra advantageous. We did no longer sign up everywhere, that would desire to be adequate of a splash on your visitors which you have each and every thing you like. enable the visitors worry approximately what presents to hold, bypass on your bathe and function a brilliant time. Take lots of imagery, you will decide to keep in mind each and every thing!

Anyone invited to a shower MUST also be invited to the wedding itself. There are NO exceptions to this rule-- you'd be doing something extremely rude.
But you're not planning to throw yourself a shower, are you? They are supposed to be thrown by a friend, in your honor?

The location of the wedding should not affect the celebration. Have the shower.
