How many showers are too many?

mrsadamc 05 · January 2010

Currently I have 3 people who want to host showers for me.

Is 3 too many?

These 3 ladies are not friends so they would not want to host one together.

We had the family/family friends coed shower, I have my girlfriend shower next weekend, and if I was still working I'd probably have one there too. I dont think 3 is too many by any means, as long as the same people arent invited to all of them

Thanks sweeite! I think the guest lists will be quite different with the exception of my mom, sister, MIL, amd SIL. But they won't be getting me gifts for each shower anyway ( I would never expect/want them too).

I think 3 might be pretty common..I am having 3..one MIL hosted, one my mom's side hosted and one my friends are hosting.

We're lucky girls

I'm having 3, one for my side, another for his side and one at work.

The only thing that could been seen as tacky is inviting the same people to more than one shower. My exception is my Mom/MIL. MIL is invited to my family's shower and my mom is invited to MIL's family's shower.

I had three showers - family, friends, and coworkers. I think that's fine as long as it's 3 separate groups of people.

As long as you don't invite people to more than one shower, you could have 100 showers---at least in my opinion.

I had 3, you're fine!

As long as the same people aren't invited to more than one shower. AND you aren't stretching your list to "find" people to invite to 3 different showers.

I agree with this...and 4 would be a bit much

This. Plus I suspect a work shower is in the future.

I am having 2 for sure.. MIL is hosting one, my roller derby team is hosting another.. and possibly work? I'm not sure

As long as the guest lists are different I don't think it matters.

I had 4 showers. Two were surprises and two were planned. There was different people at all of them. And aside from my work shower they were all in totally different geographic locations.

I am going to end up with 4 showers all with different guest lists. One with DH's mom's side, one with DH's dad's side (they are divorced,) one with my family and friends and one at work. It is a little much, but we have a lot of important people in our lives that want to share this experience with us.

h2babe · January 2010

I have 3 scheduled (I feel so lucky!), one from my side (my mom's friends are hosting), one from DH's side (his mom and friends are hosting), and one from friends (local).

I will probably have a more low-key "lunch" for people at work, and so is DH. So I guess maybe 5 even total. I think the key here is that you don't have the same people in those showers.

As long as guests don't overlap, I think that there is no number that is too many.

Blueyezz0530 · January 2010

Thats a good amount. I would probably end up having 2 as well. I had two bridal showers. As long as the same people arent being invited to them I guess its okay

hopefulmom · February 2010

I had a family shower, a church shower and a co-worker shower. Only the family shower had about 30 people but the other two only had about 8 people. If my DH had a family (more than just his mom and sister) we probably would have had a 4th...but he doesn't have a big family at all.

I don't think 3 is too many. As long as the same people are not invited then I don't think it matters if you had 10...as long as you had people who watned to host them.

mysticporter · February 2010

It's not too many as long as people aren't double invited. Depending on who the folks are, I could easily see it happening if you have multiple friend groups or family wants to throw a separate event.

as long as the same people don't attend the three showers then you are good.
