I want a bridal shower, is it appropriate to ask my maid of honor to throw me one?

Question

I don't want the gifts, i just would like to have my friends together before the wedding.

Answer 1

I would think that your maid of honor is your best of friends or your sister why cant you ask her for it. The maid of honor should be someone that you can trust and talk to so you could ask her. She should have already have talked about throwing you one already. My moh is doing everything without me telling her to. Good LUck

Answer 2

I don't think it's appropriate to ask your maid of honor to throw you one, but if she asks you about a bridal shower then you can of course let her know what type of shower you would like to have. Also you can always host a tea or luncheon to socialize with your wedding party members and close family and friends (of course this is a different event than a shower).

Answer 3

ok- form a million, not at all say sure to a lady from artwork you do not comprehend. 2. all the bridesmaids and infrequently the mother pay for the bathe. you need to be speaking and assembly with all the different bridesmaids! 3. whenever you're saying sure to a wedding ceremony you artwork you'd be spending a million,000 on stuff/dresses/presents/events. 4. This female appears like a Jerk to even convey it up and throw it on you! and that i do not comprehend what those actually everyone looks speaking about notwithstanding it really is the bridesmaid job to throw the bathe- no longer in simple terms the maid of honor or the moms- it really is a collection element.

Answer 4

If you don't want the gifts, then just have the traditional "bridal luncheon" with your half of the weddingparty, and whoever else you would like invited. This is done usually within a week of the wedding.
A "shower" connotes that gifts are expected.

Answer 5

It is the responsibility of the MOH to host the bridal shower along with mother and or sisters (if they wish; some prefer a friends shower and a family only shower). If you don't think she's planned anything, go to theknot.com and they have a list of MOH and bridesmaid responsibilities that can be e-mailed. If you think the reason is financial (showers can be expensive and with other wedding costs, she may not be able to afford it), speak with your mother about co-hosting. Best Wishes.

Answer 6

No it's not appropriate to ASK anyone to throw you one...that is actually the maid of honor's duty. Either she has one for you or she will ask your future mother in law to do the honors and then the maid of honor hosts the bachelorette party. But a bride should NEVER have to ask...I suggest getting your maid of honor a wedding ettiquite book and have a bookmark to the page where it discusses her duties as maid of honor. MAYBE she will take the hint.

Answer 7

The definition of a shower is to shower the bride to be with gifts. The maid of honor usually organizes it but I don't think it is good etiquette to ask her to do it. When is your wedding? Maybe it is a surprise that she is planning.

Maybe what you want is a 'girls night out'. Call it that and organize it yourself.

Answer 8

As maid of honor, she should throw you one without being asked. Maybe you could drop some subtle hints. Take her shopping with you and just casually mention some of the stores you plan on registering at for your shower and ask if she will need addresses and such.

Answer 9

There's no reason why you can't tell your MoH that you want a pre-wedding party. If she doesn't want the 'honor' or the expense, do you have a sister, cousin or other friend who might? What about yout future MiL, is she around?

Part of the wedding process is the activities leading up to the 'big day'. You shouldn't feel cheated, if this is what you want. You only get one shot. Mention it to her.

Answer 10

Yes, traditionally your maid of honour is suppose to organize it and host it anyway, without asking. However, now a days, I would mention to her that yes, you do indeed want such a thing, and let her know the details like no gifts.
