So now what do I do?

My FSIL's shower is turning complicated already.  She is insisting that we have plenty of games and activities for her shower.  Now her mother is paying for it to be at a restaurant and the bridesmaids are in charge of favors and games and activities.  I seem to be the only bridesmaid who's doing anything about anything, but I don't really care.  

I have favors picked out, but I need a count of how many people.  We also decided to include on the invites that people should bring recipes for the bride.  I sent my FI off to ask his mother how many people are invited and to ask her to include the recipe info on the invitations when she sends them.  Well apparently, although their mother is paying for everything, FSIL is in charge of who's getting invited and sending the invitations.  I'm sorry- isn't the bride NOT suppose to plan her own shower?  Now, although she wanted all these surprises at her shower, we are going to have to tell her about it all so that she can include the recipes in the invitation.  I can still just ask her how many people without telling her what the favors are, but I'm just annoyed.  Suggestions?

Re: So now what do I do?

  • She can give her opinion on what she wants to do and give your FMIL everyone's addresses for invites. But yeah you're right, she really isn't supposed to be planning it. Is your FMIL in on the surprises? Maybe she'd be able to come up with something so your FSIL isn't involved with the invites.

    Her mother doesn't see any problem with FSIL doing it all.  FSIL is picking out and sending all the invites herself...

    WHAT?!?!? Does your FSIL not know the proper etiquette for the bridal shower? What's the point of the surprises if she is going to plan everything? I agree with Steph on this one... GL

  • I wrote out my own guest list. And some ideas for the food that I want and the recipe idea. I told my sisters they said thanks for making the guest list but you do not get to plan your own shower.

  • From what you've said about her before, she's more than proven to be cracktacular. I guess I'd just leave this one for their family to handle. Doesn't mean you can't be peeved :-)
