My sister is my MOH and is planning a bridal shower for me in March. My FI's mom surprised me about a month ago that she wanted to have a shower for me near where they live, which is about an hour away. I was a little iffy about it but I didn't want to say anything. I really won't know any of the people she invites.
My sister was pretty bothered that my FMIL wanted to have her own shower, kind of made her feel like whatever she does wouldn't be good enough. Over the past month it's started to seem like a competition - FI's mom is asking where my sister is getting invitations made, where she is having it, what she is doing for favors etc.
I helped pick the location with my sister and we chose a date. We chose a location that is a fair amount closer to where FMIL lives so I emailed her to see what she thought about having one shower - it really was a suggestion, I left it completely up to her. She emailed back - she said one shower is fine but was short with me and has been upset since.
Now not sure what to do. Leave it at one shower, knowing FMIL is upset? Or have her go ahead and have it and deal with her comparing the two showers continuously. I'm not trying to be spoiled, I am totally happy with one shower.
Any advice appreciated!
