No, it is not. Showers should never be thrown by the bride...or even the bride's mother. They should be thrown for the bride by the bridal party or by the mother of the groom. Also, many of the people going to your second wedding will probably buy you a gift...and chances are, they bought you one for your first wedding and for your first shower. I would highly suggest that you not have a second shower. If someone in your circle does want to do something for you, maybe suggest something like a lingerie party or a pampering party...or just go out and have a nice brunch. Good luck :)

You didn't say if it's your second marriage, or a second wedding to renew your vows to the husband you already have. If you're already married, no, it would look greedy to have a second shower. If people want to spontaneously give you gifts that's up to them.
Actually I think that's the rule in general. It's tacky to throw yourself a party specifically in expectation of gifts, but if someone else throws it for you, that's okay. Congratulations on you wedding.

Since wedding showers are thrown FOR you not BY you your family and friends will make that choice.
Throwing your own wedding shower isn't appropriate no matter how many times you've been down the aisle.

don't you already have most of the things you need? thats the point of a wedding shower. however if its been years since you were married before and have been living the single life awhile, then i don't see why not. however if you just got married previously a few years ago, then i'd skip it.

Wedding showers for your first wedding usually include items to set up your home like toasters, microwaves, china, etc. Wedding showers for second weddings usually concentrate on personal items for the bride such as perfumes, nighties, or scented candles and lotions.

I don't really think so--showers are for people just starting out that don't own a lot of stuff. But maybe you could still have a party, and if people happen to bring gifts, then that's great!

How about a lingerie shower? That way you're not getting lots of kitchen stuff but it's still a celebration of your marriage.

no you shouldn't have another one b/c when people have showers they expect the gifts to be to help out new families which should last forever i think it's more for a starting out and if this is your 2nd marriage then you should have stuff of your own by now it makes you look kind of greedy to ask for more stuff

No. But a nice brunch or lunch for your friends would be cool. No gifts. Just getting the girls together for one more time before you tie the knot.

You know what? I think it's great! it's a new love, it's a new life, I think it's perfectly appropriate. My mother was on her 3rd! wedding when I had a bridal shower for her.. she's in a new house, she's with a new man, her life has changed.. I thought it would be nice to show her that we accept that she's moved on, and that we care about her, and it's a great "hen party!" lol.. have fun!! hope you do it!!
