One of my BMs excitedly gave me the details of my shower in 2 weeks that they've been lovely enough to plan for me. They brought my mom in as a quot;silent partner,quot; mostly because they needed a space large enough to host a party. As has happened at any event in my life, though, the focus has been taken off me and my preferences and put on her and hers. The way it is now, people are going to get there, be forced to play games for 2 hours, and then watch me open presents for an hour I'm assuming there's food in there somewhere, but when I asked she said they hadn't discussed food yet. There will be about 40 people there, and only about half will want to play games, but my mom will throw a hissy fit if they don't play. I know she will. The annoying thing is, all 8 BMs think the games sound fun, too. I know many people expect some games at a bridal shower, and I don't mind some trivia, memory lane, I could even deal with one of the toilet paper dress/bouquet games but not these they're more for a 40yearolds bachelorette party in 1986. Also, I HATE most games. I always have. Unless it's a drinking game or I'm already drunk. I don't drink very often, either, so that's how often I play. It's obviously too late to request no shower invites are out, so would it be out of line to request that they, not eliminate, but change and limit the games?
