<\/a><\/p>\nWhen to schedule a bridal shower?<\/h3>\n
Try to schedule the bridal shower 4-6 weeks before the wedding, when the bride still has some free time and isn’t too engrossed in wedding planning. However, if the bride lives far away and is just coming back for the wedding, the shower can be held in the days leading up to the wedding as long as she is satisfied with that.<\/p>\n
Should the shower be held instead of a hen night?<\/h3>\n
It is acceptable for the bride to have a hen party as well as several bridal showers, but where possible different people should be invited to these. For example, relatives and friends could be invited to the hen night, and work colleagues could be invited to a bridal shower. However, if the bride doesn’t have a large number of girlfriends, sisters, and colleagues to invite to these events, it may be better to mix them all into one gathering.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4465,"parent":0,"template":"","uk_article_category":[6787],"uk_article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-4464","uk-article","type-uk-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","uk_article_category-hensparty"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article\/4464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/uk-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article\/4464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"uk_article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_article_category?post=4464"},{"taxonomy":"uk_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_article_tag?post=4464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
