I'm going to try to make this as short as possible. Maybe this wouldn't bother other people (my FI told me just to brush it off), but I'm annoyed and wanted to make sure I should be. My cousin calls me about 3 weeks ago and asks me if I would like to be a hostess for her baby shower. I said "Sure." She said, "well, it's going to cost X amount if that's ok?" I said sure and asked where I need to send the money to. I live 3 hours away but visit quite frequentlly since I'm from her area and my FI lives in the same town as she does. She gave me the address of her close friend and I promptly sent the check. I also told her to let me know what I need to do to help. I also messaged her close friend on Facebook (I don't have her #) and told her I would do whatever she needed me to do. No one has told me anything since then. I just happened to find out a week and half ago where the shower is because I'm getting married in the same church that the baby shower is going to be at. I just so happened to see her shower marked on the church calendar.
I text her about it and she replied "Oh yeah, we were going to mail the invites soon. I never got an invite but I did get a mass text stating when the shower would be and what time...like 3 days later. The shower is THIS SUNDAY. I don't think that hostesses are technically supposed to get an invitation but I seem so disconnected from it. The close friend posted on Facebook to another friend the other day "you know, we forgot to put all the hostess' names on the invites! Our bad!" I would like to see this invitation because I would be willing to bet that HER name is some how connected to it.
My cousin is in the hospital now with early labor. She more than likely won't be at the shower anyways and I don't feel like I want to go. I just feel like they just hit me up for money. Would this bother you or am I over reacting?
