Pre-wedding Parties

Engagement Party/Baby Shower VENT

This girl at works keep bothering me about having her baby shower and my engagement party together. Everytime i come to work she keeps asking me about it and I never said yes to anything. Shes even going around telling me people a date that I didn't even know about. LOL So how do I tell her that her idea is a load of crap and I'll have my engagement party with my family.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Engagement Party/Baby Shower VENT : Well, you don't plan your own engagement party, and she shouldn't be planning her own baby shower.  Heretofor, cowboy logic states that planning them both together would be impossible.  Why not just tell her you don't believe people should throw their own engagment parties, since it can come across as rude.  Maybe she'll take the hint on her shower as well, but either way it should shut her up about the co-party thing.

    Were having more of a dinner with close friends and family. We want it very intimate and also give our families a chance to chill with each other

    <div>The size or intimacy of your engagement party is irrelevent--you shouldn't be hosting it yourself.  Just tell her that nobody has offered to host the engagement party yet so planning anything is obviously our of your hands.</div>

    Nowadays does it really matter if me and my FI host it?
