If you're a party gal (or guy), there's no shortage of excuses to have a party when you're engaged. Of course there's the wedding itself, but there's also the engagement party, the bridal shower, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and the rehearsal dinner. And if you really love to plan a party, you can add a day-after brunch, a bridesmaids tea, a wedding photo viewing party, and more.
But how many parties is too many? At a certain point, guests start to complain about the time and expense of attending several wedding-related events. Your fun bashes can become tired obligations. What do you think? How many wedding-related events are you planning?

I once was looking in a wedding album, which at least 30 invites to 30 different parties hosted for the bride and groom.
Weddings are a wonderful event joining two lives and I agree that they should be celebrated. But enough is enough with the parties. I usually see only the traditional shower bachelorette/bachelor and wedding and even after those 3 I’ve had enough. In todays day and age showering a couple that has been living together for years with items for the home seems unnecessary. Tradtional parties for not so traditional times. Times are what they are and money is tight for everyone, so when you buy a shower gift and buy a wedding gift it begins to hurt the wallet. Never mind if you are in the wedding, the costs never end. I love weddings but enough with all the parties. Please!
