Would you hold a wedding shower for yourself?

[Grog]

But more to the topic of hosting your own bridal shower - what if you don't have friends/family living near you? Or you have friends, but they are not so close to you?

I am 5,000 km away from "home" (whatever that means now). Some relatives-in-law(-to-be) threw a shower for me before my wedding. I thought it was very nice. I had a few local friends that I invited but my mother, sister-in-law (at "home") and close friends could not attend of course. They wouldn't have known what to do there though, I'm afraid, we're not big on showers. But it was a very nice touch on their part, and meant to make me feel welcome in the family. I am thankful for that (in general, not specifically the shower).
