Bridal Shower Number Of Invited To
I am the sister of the groom and I want to know how many showers I should have to attend? More importantly how many show gifts should I be excepted to buy? Personally I feel noone should be invited to more than one shower unless they are Mom or soon to be mom in law or in the wedding party. Thanks

You should not be expected to attend more than one shower.

Ann, you can attend as many showers as you get invited to and want to go to. A gift at everyone is not required. Your soon to be sis-in-law will understand that you aren`t bringing a gift to everyone. If you know the people throwing the shower and you think it would be fun to go to, then go.

You are not "expected" to attend more than one shower. However, how lovely that your soon to be sister in law wants to include you in all of the festivities. Those who are invited to more than one shower are never expected to bring a gift after the first shower. So go and have a great time. Or if you`d prefer to only attend one, that`s perfectly fine too. But don`t view the extra invitations as burdens. Instead view it as a welcoming gesture from your new sis.

I have been blessed with friends and relatives who all want to throw a shower for me. So far, I am having three showers thrown in my honor. One for my side of the family, one from his side of the family, and a lingerie shower. In my opinion, this is quite a number of showers, and I DO NOT expect a gift from those who want to attend all! Fortunately, by word of mouth, I am able to tell my guests that I do want them to attend for the fun and festivities, but please do not feel obligated to bring a gift to everything or one at all. I am just happy to have everyone joining me in my celebration of marriage. Gifts are appreciated, but NEVER an expectation.
