I think it's ok- just because the timeline is tight doesn't mean she shouldn't have the celebrations
she probably needs the stuff more then most people- since she doesn't have much time to get ready for all this change
I would go to everything- and maybe not spend the max- but get her something nice off her registry each time
I agree - If this were a close friend of mine, I would go to all of the functions, and do what I could $$$.
I agree completely.

Re: Dont you think this is a litte.... "much"
I agree it's too much. She should not be having a bridal shower.

I think that's a bit much -- I get that they are all fabulous events to be celebrated but at the same time some consideration for friends and family being invited to all these events should be given.
ETA: there are certain people that will give gifts no matter what, but I think making big parties is not entirely appropriate.
I had something similar a while back:
E-party Feb
Shower August
B-Party September
Wedding - Oct
Housewarming party - Dec
All for one couple all in the same year -- then they got pg right away and the following year was the baby shower, christening, baby home party and baby first christmas party.
I felt like she was garnishing my paycheck. 
LOL!!! I have a SIL who is all about the gift shakedown!!

Re: Dont you think this is a litte.... "much"
Im not saying she shouldnt have them... but shes purposely planning it like this...
It wasnt like she was already engaged... and then found out she was pg...
SHES NOT EVEN ENGAGED YET! Why rush everything?????
ETA- there will be a bachelerotte party too- but there is no wedding party- so its rather- lets just go out with a bunch of friends and have a good time....

I agree. My sister is on the same timeframe. Bridal Shower in July, Wedding in Sept and Baby Shower in November. The timeframe isn't ideal but for those that love her and support her it should not matter.

Re: Dont you think this is a litte.... "much"
I have that same situation. Cousin got engaged in April, had the bridal shower in May and the wedding in June. BIG SURPRIS - a week after the wedding it came out that she was preggo so I can only assume the baby shower will be soon.

Re: Dont you think this is a litte.... "much"
It is a lot, but you would have these events in your life anyway. It just seems rough with the timing, but you can't control that.

Re: Dont you think this is a litte.... "much"
yes i think that is a bit too much having 3 "special occassions" back to back one after the other maybe one she should post pone until later maybe the baby shower? and have that when the baby is due? when is she due BTW?

A bridal shower in Aug.
A wedding in Sept.
A baby shower in Nov
My friend isnt even engaged yet... but her & her SO are planning on getting engaged since she just found out shes pregnant....
I think its a little much, and suggested skipping the bridal shower....
I dont think she should give up on something because shes having a baby- but then maybe since none of these plans even exsisted before finding out about the baby- she shouldn't plan everything so soon, and on top of eachother....
I dont think she was thrilled when I suggested this to her.... (this coming from someone who didnt give me any gifts for any of those "events" in my life )
What do you think?
do i think it is a lot....yea
but i don't think she shold be skipped over in the bridal shower just because she is having a baby
obviously this was an unexpected surprise....2 of them actually
i think i would be supportive and happy for my friend

I agree it's too much. She should not be having a bridal shower.
WHY NOT?
She is getting married?

Re: Dont you think this is a litte.... "much"
I think that if these events were spaced out more it wouldn't be such a big deal. When is the baby due? Maybe she could have waited a few more months for that. I just feel it's alot to ask of people all at once.

true but i guess i assumed that the the reason it was soo tight was because of the baby surprise and them wanting to be married before it is born

Re: Dont you think this is a litte.... "much"
I understand and do not think she shouldn't have any of these parties. Bridal and Baby showers are two seperate things and you need stuff for both. I just think that one after the other is rough on relatives and close friends.
Would I still go - of course! Would I b!tch about it - I'm sure!
ETA: My first paragraph is a run on and doesn't read well. I think she should have a party for each event and shouldn't have to compromise that. That's what I was trying to get out.

Re: Dont you think this is a litte.... "much"
I realize you're frustrated at the amount of gift giving that is going to take place so close to one another, but life events doesn't always happen on everyone's preferred timeline. Why should she be denied the celebrations that everyone wants when they get married or have a baby?
