I have not been on the knot in years, but am a MOH for my BFF. We want to plan a couples Halloween themed shower since she is crazy about Halloween and normally spends hours and hours making costumes from scratch.
Her Mom keeps saying she is going to plan a shower, but is not doing any planning and if we leave it up to her the bride will likely end up with nothing. (Lots of history- believe me.)
My question is, can the bridal party plan a couples shower for friends and NOT invite the older relatives to that shower? My thought was to email her mom and say that we want to have a couple shower for the friends of the bride/groom and that way she can still through a more traditional shower for the family members. No matter what, I expect her Mom to freak out, but am willing to take the hit. I just don't know if it is rude for us to go ahead and plan something w/o the older relative attendees involved. TIA!
