Hello!
I have a dilemma I'm hoping you all can help me out with.
My wedding is June 6th next year. My aunt lives in Iowa, and only comes in town for Christmas.
She wants to have a bridal shower for me in December, since that's the last time she will be in town before my wedding.
Originally my other aunt (her brother's wife) wanted to host it, and I thought they would share the duties.
Her house is very nice and I think it would make a better impression on my future sisters/ mother in law.
The problem is, the Iowa aunt doesn't get along with the Ohio aunt, and thinks she will try to take over.
She wants to rent a hall for the shower. I think halls are too impersonal and I've also never been to a bridal shower that wasn't at someone's house. What do you all think about doing it at a hall?
She keeps telling me that it's my day and it's up to me, but still keeps bringing up the hall idea.
Plus, it's hard for her to plan a lot from Iowa. I enlisted my MOH's help and I'm hoping we can figure it out.
What is the best way to tell my aunt that I don't like the hall idea without hurting her feelings?
