Looking for Ideas
My BFF has been engaged since July. She is planning a desination wedding to Vegas for next September.
She has recently become pregnant, expecting in June. She is still planning on having the wedding in Vegas.
I am her MOH.
Her finace is from Canada, so she (and he) travel to and from a lot.
Questions -
What would you do regarding a Bridal Shower? It seems there may be some problems in regards to taking items over the border. I think they will be living in the US, - so it may just be easiest for the Canadians to ship items? I dunno.
BUT...do I throw her a baby shower as well?
Do you think it would be weird to do a combo party?
She will essentially need both partys, b/c her and her finace are living at her parents - they hope to buy/rent soon - but they don't have "things". And this will be her first kid.
I'm very open to thoughts on this ordeal!

They are not moving the wedding.
Baby due in June, wedding in September, Lol.
I'm opposed to the combo shower myself for various reasons. I just wanted to see what others though.
Mabe baby shower in Late April, early May, with a Bridal Shower in August?
That sounds like good timing. I think that would work out perfectly.
Agreed, that sounds like good timing. I also don't know the issues about the gifts. Maybe page RedZee.

Also - who is generally in charge of Baby Showers? Would it be me, as her bff, or her mom? Or both?
It's whoever volunteers, though in my experience I've hosted a shower for my bff, along with her mom and his mom and another friend. It's nice to host as a group to spread around the costs and tasks.
