Pre-wedding Parties

Mom wants to do shower in my home town...

There are lots of people there that would like to say congrats, but due to distance and budget restrictions I was not inviting most of the people she wants to invite to this party. I do believe they would be excited for me but I can't afford to invite them hoping that they won't come due to distance to be safe on my budget. I know that the protocol is no invite for the wedding, no invite to the shower. Could we do a local to mom party that is just a congrats party? Is there any protocol for an alternate celebration that would allow me to introduce Glenn to the family and friends that mom wants to celebrate with?

  • Good idea of doing some type of holiday or non wedding-related party.  There are plenty of other occasions to celebrate where people in your hometown could meet your fiance.  Even just the occasion that you and your fiance are in town might be reason enough for your mother to host a get-together.
    Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.
