Ok before you comment based on the title please read! This was not my doing! Both me and FI church families are too big to invite everyone so there are still some people hanging out in the balance and looking for a wedding invite. So one of those people comes up to my parents Sunday at church and ask when is the wedding again? They tell her. She says she won't be able to make it because she has blah blah blah. So then she asks if my bridal shower will be local? My mom says yes. So she says ok well I'll just bring her gift then.
So now my mom is like, the ladies from church who can't come to the wedding can you at least let them come to the shower? And furthermore how do I handle this woman who THINKS she is invited but is declining on her own. Don't get me wrong, I like these ladies. It's maybe 5 ladies at church and they are senior ushers who watched me grow up on the usher board but they just didn't make my have to be at the wedding list.
So I said these exact words to my mom. "MA! I don't know. I'll have to ask the girls and get back to you." and by the girls I meant you all! So girls? What do we say? How do we handle this?
