Ladies,
This weekend I purchased my something blue which will be my garter. I was so excited, but now I'm a little bit confused. I showed one of my BMs and she said "why did you buy that, the BMs and MOH are suppose to get those things for you and give them to you at your bachelorette party." I didn't know this. I've been reading and thought the something new something old etc was suppose to be done by the family (like my mom). Since my mom was born and raced in another country she doesn't know of this custom so I figured I'd start looking for my own things. I do plan on seeing if I could borrow something of hers but didn't think my BMs and MOH were suppose to get me these things. Not sure if I should continue to get these on my own, return my garter or what.
Please enlighten me. Seems the more I read and think I'm doing things according to proper etiquette and keeping people in mind seems like the other BMs say otherwise.
