I just received an email from my MOH divulging in some problems with my shower. She of course didnt want to tell me but doesnt know how to handle the situation.
My shower is in 3 days. My mother and my MOH did the planning, have their names as hosts on the invite etc. and now, 3 days before the shower, my mother asks my MOH if the other bridesmaids are pitching in...
My other BM's are young professionals and have already mentioned money woes to my MOH about the bachelorette party etc. so my MOH knows that they wouldnt be able to pitch in much, or happily, to the shower when they had no input what so ever on the event.
I'm a bit annoyed with my mother because, as of right now, she has not contibuted to the wedding costs what so ever, other than my dress which was not a phenominal cost. Everything is being paid for by my future parents in law and myself and my fiance. Shes the type of person who just orders/buys things without thinking it through and now, I know its gotten down to details like plates and linnens and shes worried about money because she hired an expensive caterer for the shower.
IMO, the money thing should have been talked about with everyone (all BM's and my mother) and a game plan should have been made from there. I dont think my other BM's should have to pitch in 3 days before the shower. They are, however, helping to set up.
Any ideas on how my MOH can handle this situation with my mother? My MOH is obviously pitching in as much money as she can towards the shower.
Thanks!
