August 2012 Weddings

XP: (from local board) Shower Question

So this am I was talking to my mom, who spoke to one of my MOH's last night about the shower and here is what is going on.

One. My mom is having a hard time finding a place for the shower. It seems like everyplace she finds my MOH is liek "oh that place is ok" and every place my MOH suggests is a good place for a "party" but not necessarily a "shower" ie too small, too dark, too high of an event minimum.

Also, my mom said she wants to pay for some of the shower so the girls don't have to pay more than $100 pp. My 4 aunts are also chipping in. With my mom paying likely a larger chunk she feels like she should have some say- plus, it's my mom.

She said she mentioned to my MOH that my guest list for the shower was around 55 but she knew that we would only have around 40 people and my moh said "REALLY...we only wanted to throw her a small shower with 20 people or so!" so i guess my BM's and mom aren't on the same page. My mom can't invite my one cousin, and not another. and I have 20 poeple including immediate family and friends alone..... so unless i have a separate shower with my family and one with just my college friends and bridesmaids, i don't see having a shower w only 20 guests. (plus, I'm from a huge italian family!)

Ek- should I get involved and send MOH my guest list so she knows whats going on? Or just stay out.

This is hard becuse my mom is calling me upset and I am trying to stay "uninvolved" i have enough other stuff to stress about.
