Bridal Shower x 2? And timing?
I am getting married in October 2009 in Arkansas. Three of my bridesmaids live in Arkansas. I live in San Francisco along with two of my bridesmaids. I would like to have a bridal shower here (so my fiance's family and local friends can come) and another in Arkansas (so that my family and friends back home can attend without getting on a plane!).
1) Is it "ok" to have two bridal showers? (One my MOH will host in Arkansas and my future SIL (and bridesmaid) will host here in SF)
2) When should the bridal shower take place? They are working around my schedule (I'm an attorney), but I have no idea what to tell them as far as when to have it.
Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
The wedding will be in Arkansas in October 2009. I will likely be going to Arkansas to finish up planning 1.5-2 weeks before the wedding.

It is definately okay to have two showers. I'm going that route because all my bridesmaids and alot of guests live in Florida but all of my family is in Georgia. If we only had one shower, some people who are really close to me would have to drive a long distance or not be able to attend.
As far as when to have it, most are on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, but since they are working around your schedule-which they should since you are coming from out of town, it really depends on when you can come.

You're being a gracious bride by working around your attendants living and work situations, and having 2 showers to accommodate them is a great idea! Have the one in San Francisco first, a month or two before the wedding, and have the one in Arkansas closer to the wedding date, or you could even merge your 2nd shower with your bachelorette party a week or so before the wedding. Just have everybody get together at a house or hotel for drinks, snacks and gifts, then go off to party. Then you won't have to go to Arkansas for the shower and then again for the wedding. Another perk is that you might be able to have just one shower if you do it so close to the wedding date because everybody will already be flying in for the wedding already!

Hi. It is perfectly acceptable to have 1, 2, or more showers! My daughter had 3 showers when she got married due to family; friends; step-family, etc. It really doesn't matter.
Most showers are 2-3 months before a wedding. You could have your San Francisco shower about 2 months before the wedding and have your Arkansas shower 2 weeks before your wedding when you "go home" to take care of last minute items. OR....if you are going to be in Arkansas anytime during the summer....have it then! There really is no "time limit" on when to have one. If you are in Arkansas in June or July....have it then. If not, then 2 weeks before the wedding is fine.
Good luck and I hope you have a beautiful day.

I can help you with the one part - logistics and finding things.
I recommend using TheParty.Net (http://www.theparty.net)/ - it is a search engine for planning that gets local and granular so you can search in 94121 for bakeries and catering, and do the same in Little Rock.
Hope that helps!
