So, I've been lurking and reading about customs and etiquette in the short time I've been engaged, because I don' t know ANYTHING about planning or being in a wedding.
So, it seems that if my mom can't throw me a shower, and I have no one else to throw me one (no sisters, no cousins, no aunts), I will just not have one? For the record, this would be ok with me, but my mom's going to want one. And yes, it's MY wedding, but according to my days lurking here, it seems that if my mom's paying, she gets to decide mostly everything about my wedding, which I'm ok with. I just want to marry my best friend.
So. Anyway. How bad is it to have a mother throw a shower?
