NO - weddings and anything related to them are suppose to make YOU (the bride) feel like you are the center of the universe! Do not share the spotlight - you will regret it.

No. U only get married once (hopefully) and u should enjoy the whole "its all about me" for once in your life. The wedding day is about the 2 of u (Bride and groom) but the bridal shower and hens night should be, like I said, "all about u"
A family member (who I am close to) is getting married a month after me and we love having our own thing. But if for money reasons or timing reasons ..... go with it. If its what both brides think is best!

No, I'm sorry, but I don't think 'joint' Bridal showers are a good idea, because each bride needs to be 'the celebrated' one separately, and you can't both be 'celebrated' equally because you are 'different people.' But let me say that I also 'don't approve' of Bridal Showers that are only for the WOMAN, with only FEMALE GUESTS ... so I'd have a 'wedding shower' and be a 'co-celebrated' with my 'fiance' because that would 'show the world' that we are 'two separate people who will be 'one' after we are married' ... but that is a 'personal thing' with me.

I shared a shower with my sister in law (my brother's wife) as our weddings were only a month apart. I was not wild about the idea but it really was nice, all of the families and friends getting together and mingling (and not to be rude but we got a bunch of gifts from people we had never even heard of before that day). all in all it was great, and I really recommend it.

I don't think I would mind sharing the party with someone else if we were close. However, if its just for the sake of convenience, I would say that the organizers are just being lazy. Every bride deserves to feel special!

Sounds to me like you're against it.
If you're the bride (to be), and you are not close with this cousin, your bridesmaids shouldn't be the same as hers. Talk to your bridesmaids and let them know this is not something that interests you.
My cousin's wedding is the week after mine. Though I, personally, wouldn't mind sharing the shower with her (my cousin is actually the guy, but I like his fiance) we wouldn't do it. Do you realize how big that would be?! Think about it. Let's say this is your cousin on your mother's side. So, you have her side, your father's side, and your fiance's family. Then you have your cousin's father's side and her fiance's family......Sheesh, I'm getting nauseous thinking about it!

It would be difficult to host such a shower because there will be guests closer to one bride ant possibly not even knowing the other bride. Since the focus of the event is to open gifts, this would prove uncomfortable for the guests since not all of them will know, or want to give, to one or the other of the brides.
Steer clear of this sort of event.

NOPE....If they're not close then they really probly wouldn't have the same guest, except for a few common family members. I think it would be akward. what if more guest show up for one bride and not the other. And what if gues don't know both brides, and they only bring 1 gift, then you have one bride who has more gifts. No bride should have to feel like that.

I personally would not care for it at all. Not only will it probably be a huge party, but also so chaotic keeping track of who gave which gift to whom. I would also feel odd about having people there who I don't necessarily know giving me a gift. Just my two cents.

It's one thing if your very close and want to share the day together, but I wouldn't want to do it. It's your choice of course, but I say no way.
