Shower Planning Worries/Vent

kristenrmu22

I am having some pre shower planning worries. I am not having a bridal party...not even a MOH. Untraditional yes I know. But I am graced with wonderful friends and family that insist on hosting a shower for me. Yippee that is so nice. 

Here comes my worry. I have A sister, a sister-in-law to be, a best friend, and great friend. My best friend and great friend are already telling me they are so pumped and have ideas. They are acquittance so I worry they both will start planning something without consulting each other or my other sisters. I want everyone that expressed interest to be involved. I just worry that won't happen or there will be a power struggle. It is so nice of them to do this for me even though I am not having a party that I don't want anyone to stress.  I have expressed to each of them who stated they wanted to help but I don't feel heard. 

I guess I will just keep my fingers crossed...any suggestions?

For future reference, it's "acquaintance," not "acquittance."

Ditto Retread. You don't need to be involved whatsoever in planning your shower. These ladies are grown women. They can work it out. If they need to talk to one another, etc., I'm certain they're capable of that.

Let them figure it out for themselves. When it comes down to actually planning the event, they can contact each other fairly easily I'm sure. Then they can talk amongst each other and decide who wants to contribute, how they want to help, and if they even want to continue assisting with the planning.

Keep this off your radar, you really don't need to worry about it.

You really don't have a problem, because your only role in a shower is to:
#1:  Show up
#2:  open gifts
#3:  ooh and aah over each one
#4:  thank everyone for being there

Everything else, everything else, is the responsibility of those who are hosting.  So stay out of the rest of it.

Thanks Trix that makes me feel less obligated to mediate.
