Bridal Shower Question

Purple&7 · February 2012

How much involvement do you have in your bridal shower planning?

* I hope that this hasn't already been asked. If it has I'm sorry!

midgedenver · February 2012

My family is asking my opnion on some things, like the menu, but other than that, not too much. Same with my bachelorette. I did pick the invitations for the shower, though!

chelseamb11 · February 2012

I was asked about a guest list. I also helped find the location since it's in my hometown and my MOH doesn't know the area at all.

Purple&7 · February 2012

I've picked the invitations and came up with the guest list. I was just wondering what everybody else has done. I want to be more involved than I should be!

jaime10285 · February 2012

I helped with the guest list and they asked if there was anything I really did or didn't want. Other than that I haven't really been involved.

sleblanc72 · February 2012

Pretty much nothing except for providing the guest list and the date (they chose one date but me and Fi had booked a weekend away so we changed it before anything was even set in stone).

My mom booked it last summer and I didn't want to know where it was. A few months ago I decided I wanted to know when it was because I don't like just walking into a crowd of people, it's always awkward so I wanted to be there when people arrive. Plus, knowing me, I'd end up showing up in jeans and a hoodie so I wanted to be prepared and dressed appropriately. It's also a good thing I found out because I had asked my aunt when my cousin's shower is and it turns out it's the same day. A few weeks ago I found out where it is because I helped stuff invitations. I also know what the favors are and helped bottle them and put the tags on them. My mom kind of slipped on that though because around Christmas time I was helping her to bake and we were talking about vanilla and I said I always seem to run out of it and she told me not to worry about it. Turned out she had 8 gallons (!!!) brewing upstairs in my old closet so we will have plenty.

Pretty much, I know everything about my shower. I think I know even more than my BM's (except my MOH). Right now I'm trying not to know about my bachelorette but I'll probably figure things out relatively soon. I'm good at that kind of stuff! My only real surprise in my whole life was FI proposing.

Jean6912 · February 2012

My sister and my mom are planning my shower, my mom wants me to know nothing about the shower but my sister (who is also my moh)wants it to be what I want so she has been asking my opinions on things. I gave a guest list to my sister and asked fono absolutely no pink. My sister and I are planning my bachelorette party together, because I hate surprises! So since my involvement in my shower is minimal (and a secret which is killing me), my sister decided that we will plan the bachelorette together!

Purple&7 · February 2012

Since my mom is ordering the invitations I think I will ask my MOH and bridesmaids to come over and help assemble them.

DrPB2b13 · February 2012

I gave my BMs a count and a guest list when they asked for it. Aside from that, I don't even know WHEN it is, let alone where, and I was lucky to find out I was even getting one!

Olliee1607 · February 2012

I provided a guest list and pretty much thats it, FSIL [my MOH] did mention it was going to her moms and I suggested that it may be to small there so they changed the location.

LOTON01 · February 2012

I kind of know alot about it. Mostly because I a super close with my mom and help her plan everything so I just find out stuff.

She did the invitations on her own but had me approve them before she ordered them. I gave her the guest list and helped the pick the food.

She said a few things are being kept a secret. My FSIL and FMIL both live out of state but are helping with what they can from there.

Ash61612 · February 2012

For the one where I live now and church shower, I just handed over the invitation list.

For the one back home, I am a little more involved. I am having to pick the place for the girls night out/bachelorette because all the BM's are from out of town.

kelsey+brandon · February 2012

I played the date and am providing a list of people I'd like to invite. That's it. ETA: ****okayed the date

Megbo2012 · February 2012

I know the date and found out who is invited. I know where it is. I also helped my MOH find shower games online because she was having trouble finding some.

I know more than I should, like I saw a picture of the invitations and such. I'm super impatient and bad with secrets, as is my mother who "accidentally" told me stuff.

Melissa603 · February 2012

I helped I bit with the invitation list. Other than that I don't know anything.

julbgordo · February 2012

NOTHING! I know nothing. LOL. My MOH and 1 BM have dropped very subtle hints ... but they won't even tell me the date yet. I know it's in March or April.

Zimsgirl · February 2012

I've helped my sister a lot with my first one because she asked me too. She asked for my guest list, asked for recommendations on where to get invites, sent me a pic of the invite to proof, will probably want help with the games... It's been fun and her friend/roommate has been a great help for her as well.

goodine11 · February 2012

Guest list and theme. I think that is all my invovlement. My FI is helping with the bridal shower contributing the desserts

michellep1 · February 2012

Is the shower/bachelorette supposed to be a surprise? I've never really heard of that being a tradition unless its specifically a surprise shower....

I know a lot about mine, my sister & mother have been asking my opinion along the way. I'm very particular and they don't really have the same opinions as me on a lot of things so they've been asking a lot of questions, which is fine with me. I'd rather know more than less!

Hilraythebride · February 2012

Just helped pick out the date and gave her the list of guest.

diamondx423 · February 2012

All I know is who is invited. Its killing me actually, I feel like I need more details!

midgetthemighty · February 2012

My mom is actually the main host of one of mine so I know quite a bit actually. I'm the one that put the guest list together, I designed the invitations and I'll probably be helping set it up as it's at my church.

My couples shower, I only know where it is and will be told when it is when they figure it out. It's "the group" and we've have a lot of weddings in the past two years. They play a version of the newlywed game with the couple getting married and both sets of parents. Normally hilarious and embarrassing. I'm just glad the most embarrassing types of questions from the others can't be asked of us because there are no answers.

Megbo2012 · February 2012

My Mom and MOH wanted my shower to be a surprise, but since I live two hours away and half my bridal party has track meets every weekend we had to find a weekend that worked for MOH and myself first haha. So she caved and told me/asked me about it. They are both really excited about it, which is precious.

HarperBargo · February 2012

With my family shower my mom and sister are the host. I have been involved picking the date and the guest list but that is about it. My mom will ask my opinion every once in awhile but that is about it.

My friend shower I have really done nothing. I went over the guest list to make sure no one was left off but that was pretty much it.

MMRoberts11 · February 2012

I know the possible dates and possible locations. Beyond that I've just given them the amount of people who will be invited. I was also told to print small labels with our name and wedding date for prizes.

ncd5015 · February 2012

I have zero involvement. Everything is a surprise to me. And I hate surprises.

chelseakopperud · February 2012

I provided the guest list. My MOH has been running things by me as well.... I will be as involved as she wants me to be.

Tiffany6912 · February 2012

My MOH asked me for a guest list back in October and I have not heard any more about it.
I have not been told the date but I will only be in town one weekend in March and the week leading up to the wedding, so it would have to be sometime during one of those trips.
