    I'm kind of with the other BM on this--these are kind of tertiary things that don't make or break the shower.  If they're really important to you go ahead and buy them with your own money.  But since you're spending her money too, she has the right to say how it's spent.

    I also see your side--these are the little details that can really blow someone away.  But as a bride, I'd much rather the hosts all be okay with how the money was spent than whether I got special napkins or a special cake.  

    How about a compromise--either the embossed napkins or the cake?  Would she be amenable to that?

    I am probably going to DD this soon because I wouldn't want my sister or another BM to see this.

    Anyway, I have bought all of the items myself. We split the cost of food, which was $80 total -40 each- and we purchased it at Sam's. We were in agreeance of who was going to purchase what but so far she hasn't followed through with anything she was supposed to get. The shower is in 2 days and she has had 4 weeks so I didn't feel comfortable waiting any longer.

    I do agree that these items are small and wouldn't make or break the success of a shower. I know when I had my shower and wedding, people were very complimentary of anything extra and that is why I just wanted to put that added 'touch' on her shower.

    "Agreement", not "agreeance."  Sorry to be a buzzkill and grammar nazi, it's just that Kate Gosselin says "agreeance" and that word is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

    I just saw that... things have changed a lot since the last time I used the knot.

    Whoever copied my post, do you think you could delete the part where you copied my post? I really don't want my sister to see it if she is on here
