I'm still scared of the knot, so I though I'd check with my favorite etiquette people.
One of my good friends just got engaged. This will be her second wedding. I know that traditionally second babies don't get showers. How does everyone feel about second weddings? I'm debating whether I should offer one.
If the specifics change your answer any, here they are... Even though they really shouldn't bc ''But my case is special...'' doesn't generally make stuff right:
She got married during graduate school and was married about a year before seperating. She kept all of the shower and wedding gifts, including linens, fine china, kitchen appliances, etc. She and her fianc have been living together for about 2.5 years and have together another year before that. It's his first wedding.
Re: NBSR 2nd wedding shower?
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
No, second weddings do not get showers.
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

A bachelorett party is a different story. It's still celebrating your friend's marriage but there is no pressure for anyone to go and buy a gift.
No to showers for second wedding BTB. I even felt kind of weird registering when I got married (first and only). Although I never lived with a boyfriend or my DH, I did live on my own for 8 years. I had basically everything but it was nice to have some dishes that were not "cow themed". LOL
If you want to host a party for her just make it a bachelorette party or a girls night out. If people want to give her gifts they will.
