Hello ladies,
I had asked my MOH to not throw me a Bridal Shower due to the fact that my mom keeps trying to push more and more people onto the wedding guest list/bridal shower list. FI and I are paying for our wedding by ourselves - we cannot afford the other 25 people she wants there.
My MOH agreed to not throw a Bridal Shower even though she really wanted to give me one.
I find out over the Easter holiday that my aunt has been planning a Bridal Shower for me. This includes the side of the family that is not invited to the wedding, even though my mom told them they were.
I never wanted (even before the drama) a Bridal Shower because I think they are awkward and unnecessary - I never enjoyed going to them and I am dreading sitting in front of people and opening gifts.
Though I appreciate the effort and that my family wants to throw me one, they are not respecting FI and my guest list and I honestly just want to be left alone with all this family stuff before our wedding in September. I am not close with my family and the thought of this Bridal Shower stuff has been more than stressful.
Can I respectfully decline the Bridal Shower my family wants to give me?
Thanks all!
