Is it proper to give a bridal shower for my niece who is living with the father of her two children. They finally are getting married after 8 years.
I don't think it is "proper."
I'm glad they're getting married but maybe a small in-home shower for close relatives and close friends might be more appropriate.
I just don't think a tulle umbrella/huge shower is appropriate. My opinion.
As long as she is going to be a bride regardless of the situation you can give her a shower. My family tradition is lingerie for a bridal shower however, alot of people give home items also or things from the registry. You can also do theme showever where people bring cook books and there favorite recipes, the sky is the limit however you annot request cash on her behalf for a bridal shower regardless to whether she has everything.
Everyone wants to be special and I am sure she would appreciate it.
i say she is a bride and give her all the bride deserves!!! throw a shower and have fun!!!
Yes, it is appropriate. A wedding is a wedding. If they have been living together and have a lot of the typical shower gifts, you could do a different theme. My friend had one where all of the guests brought recipes on recipe cards and some or all of the ingredients to make those recipes. So, they had a new assortment of recipes and could make them at their leasure. I thought it was a great idea! The bride got the recipe cards (matching ones sent out with invite and box to hold them) and all the ingredients to start cooking.
Who cares if its proper??? give her a Bridal shower!! LOL She deserves on just like everyone else!! Hope you have a great time!
I think it would be awesome of you to throw your niece a shower. Regardless of her and her fiance situation, this is going to be one of the biggest days of her life. Make it special for her.
These days anything goes!
Party on!

Why would it be improper? Unless you are surrounded by a bunch of conservative snobs? And even then, I'd still throw it. It's a celebration, and not an occasion or invitation for anyone to judge the bride's choices in life.
If someone would have a problem with that, they should be left off of the invite list.
I think its fine.... one last night being single!!! I would have one if I wasnt 7 months pregnant!
Sure is in today's world.
I was a 32 yr old single mom who had been on my own since I was 18, and my fiance at the time was 34 who had been married & divorced and had children. Yes, we had a bridal shower. Alot of people encouraged me to have one because I was hesitant...I already had everything I needed. However, I registered anyways and we got alot of nice gifts...plus, it is nice to get new towels once in awhile, or new other things :)

I think so but I bet they already have what they need so maybe put in the invite no gifts and just have a party. I think it would be tacky to give a gift or be expected to a couple that has been living together.
