Baby/Bridal Shower (long)
Mel's post below reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask you guys about! My MOH is also pregnant! Haha and I was also asked to be MOH in my SIL's wedding in May, I'm so excited!
Anyway I want to throw my MOH a shower for her baby and since I am MOH in SIL's wedding I want to throw her a bridal shower. Would it be absolutely crazy to do them the same weekend? They both live in NH and since I live in MD now and both events take place in May I am kind of eye balling the first few weekends in April to head up for a long weekend and throw both. Do you think either would care that I am splitting my time for the weekend? Do you think I'm crazy and getting in over my head? If it comes down to it I will throw the bridal shower for my SIL and hope another friend or family throws my friend a baby shower and hopefully make it home for it. I just really wanted to do both but now that SIL has set here date its within 4 days of my friends due date so its a tight schedule! Thanks for listening to what turned out to be way too long to explain the situation!

Re: Baby/Bridal Shower (long)
I don't know about this. From your perspective, I think you literally might go insane trying to throw two showers in one weekend. I'm envisioning a baby cake showing up at the bridal shower or some other fiasco
Kidding...but it is a lot of work and I can't imagine doing 2 in a row.
Also, if I were your SIL, I think I might be a little peeved that you are coming to town for my shower but ONLY for the shower. Does that make sense? Like you're coming to see her, but you have to spend a whole other day attending to someone else. Idk, maybe I'm a selfish brat but that would bug me a little - just my opinion !
What a coincidence! Another prego MOH - Congrats!
I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all, it just might be a lot of work for you to pull off two events in the same weekend. But to save you two long trips back to New England, why not do them on the same weekend? I for one, wouldn't mind you "splitting time" , I would just be appreciative of your kindness in throwing me a shower. Let us know how it turns out!
I guess I am just a brat. I hope more people share this opinion than mine for your sake
I am somewhat split. I thought that it was so nice when my MOH came into town to throw me a shower, and we got to spend the whole weekend together, but I really dont get to see her that often. But at the same time, I would totally understand, so I may be disappointed to not get to spend time together outside the shower, but I would understand (if that makes any sense).
It will be a lot of running around and planning for you as well. Is there someone that you could co-host with for either shower, or is there someone up there that would be able to help you out with stuff? My MOH actually bought party supplies online and had them shipped to me, and then a girl here got the cake. But my MOH had to fly in the day before the shower, I assume that you will be driving so that makes supply buying easier. I am sure that you will do an awesome job pulling it all off! Just some extra planning involved
You are not bratty - it's just your point of view
One of the things is (its not necessarily a problem just something to consider) I am the only one in the wedding. So I'm on my own for the bridal shower, I may be able to find someone to help with the baby shower though...
