Ok, so my wedding is July 9th. A family friend has offered to throw me a shower & trying to find a date for it has been a real issue. Since my wedding is in less than 2 months, & I have a wedding to attend in June, my weekends are pretty booked. The only days I really have available before the wedding are May 29th & June 12th. The 29th is less than 2 weeks away & it is Memorial Day weekend. I've thrown the date out there & already know that 2 of my bridesmaids probably won't be able to attend & a couple friends won't be able to either. The issue is this: the family friend who offered to throw the shower has a daughter that just got engaged & is getting married in August. My mom is going to throw her shower & she has already told her that she wants it on June 12th. I asked her if she had any other dates open (since she has a month longer than I do) & her mom said that she "thinks all the weekends in July are pretty busy" & she's convinced that the 29th should be ok & she can send the invites out this week & it will be plenty of time. Is she right? I just feel like there won't be many people that will be able to come on such short notice & during a holiday weekend. I also think that they're being stubborn about wanting June 12th & if they wanted to, they could find a time in July to have it. I can't really have someone else host it either, since it would probably cause a huge fight since there are a lot of guests that would overlap & would be unable to attend both showers if they were on the same day. I've been easy-going about this whole thing & I don't want to cause any issues, but I'm at a loss at how to handle this situation.
Help!!!!
