Hostess with the Mostess

     The Q: My daughter is obtaining marrried this may well and as of yet her discount cocktail dresses  maid of honor has not discussed with me her plans for the shower. I know that the girls inside the party cannot afford to rent a spot for the occasion. I've some ideas for where the shower might be. Would it be ok for me to cover the price of a location.
     Also my daughter has expressed that she would like it to be held at my house. Howerver, I dont feel I can fit the 40 -45 individuals she wants to invite. What ought to I do? wait for the maid of honor to approach me. and if so how lengthy. Or ought to I provide my suggestions. Lastly what time just before the wedding need to a shower be held . Thanks The A: It’s actually increasingly common for the MOB to help with the costs associated with the shower, especially in Metro Areas where individuals buy cocktail dresses  have less space and not everyone can host a home-based shower. It’s not “Post-Approved” etiquette, but for what it’s worth, it’s Blogsmaid approved etiquette for you to contact the MOH and say that you would really like to “help” with the shower by covering the cost of a location so that her and the other bridesmaids can put their money and energy into the other parts- favors, a little cake, decorations, etc.
    You ought to bring this up pretty soon because ideally showers are about 2-3 months before the wedding. This schedule helps your guests not feel totally overwhelmed by the cheap cocktail dresses  wedding and gift buying. In terms of the stuff about your residence and your daughter wanting a house based shower, I feel that space is the most important consideration. I feel like you ought to seriously consider if you could fit everyone, but if you can’t make it work, don’t feel too badly about it. Your ultimate goal is for her to have a lovely shower, and your warm intention won’t be missed!
