Question Question?

Thank You!

Welcome to Pash!

You can schedule the advance parties somewhat depending on what you want to do. In general, the shower is 2-8 weeks before the wedding. Bachelor/ette parties can be anywhere from the night before (not recommended ) to a couples weeks before, or even a month. And some folks go earlier on both, especially if they are having parties in different locations, etc.

My shower was a month before. Didn't have a bachelorette party. DH's bachelor party I think was a week or two before the wedding.

My bridal shower is about 5 weeks before the wedding. FH's bachelor party is about 2-3 weeks before the wedding and my bachelorette party will probably be a week beforehand? It all depends on work schedules and when we can get a sitter!!!

I think it does sound like a fun idea. We are doing a mixed one as well since we both have the same friends. Everyone thinks were nuts around here but Jason and I are just so close we do everything together so it just fits us.

Coed celebrations are the in thing now...both the bachelor/bachelorette party and showers involve both the bride and groom quite frequently...I welcome the change.
