So it is 6 months to go and I am already over it all. Bridal party has been a pain in my ass from sister pissed she is not my MOH, to people bitching about the dress color and this bridal shower. Today I had it, MOH text me saying about the shower, now granted she thinks money grows on trees and I feel bad for others. I then have to hear about it from half of the girls. Then she assumes that I am suppose to pay for invitations, now granted she thought they came with the wedding inviations. When I broke it to her they don't she seemed pissed like wow didn't realize that. So now I feel bad and feel like I need to buy them since she and some of  the other girls are going all out for the shower. I am just over all the drama and wish I could take back some of my bm and guest coming.. blahhh So where should I begin to look for invities. I was thinking vistaprint since they are cheap.

    She decided what they wanted to do for a shower and it isn't your responsibility to pay for it. I vote that you stay out of it and let her do what she wants to do for it. Don't let her bully you into paying for any of it.

    Ugh, that sucks. It is not your responsibility to purchase shower invites. I would tell her that if this shower is a burden on her, she shouldn't bother throwing one.

    I agree with PP. You shouldn't be shelling out money for invites. If she's burdened by it, she shouldn't be doing it. If she has a budget, then she should let you know how many she can afford to throw a shower for.

    As long as your aunt is invited to the wedding & is inviting those invited to the wedding to the bridal shower, it's completely fine ettiquette-wise. The only thing against ettiquette (that I am aware of at least) is hosting your own & inviting those not invited to the wedding to the bridal shower. It doesn't have to be someone in the WP. No idea on the evites though.

    Sorry to hear about your stress, I would definitely stay out of it. It's your MOH deal and responsibility. Evites are fine as long as it is not a formal event :)

    We are going through Vista Print for our invites. finally decided on which style after a few different "winners."

    I wouldn't let her bully you into paying for anything for the shower. Either she needs to rethink her shower idea, or not throw one at all.

    I hear you about the BMs they are definitly being a PITA for me too ! Ugghh ! My sis is my MOH and she has asked my BMs for help and ideas and they jabe not responded nor said rather they want to participate or not. She is so fed up and so am I. I told her if its to much dont do it...i understand. She said shes going to do her best ! I feel bad because she shouldnt have to do it herself. Whatever
