Am I overreacting? BM VENT! (long)

Traditionally, it is up to the MOH and BM's to host the bridal shower, but my mom and FMIL both offered to host it, which I gladly accepted and no one opposed.  My mom sent out invitations for my shower (which is the weekend after next).  She asked that people RSVP by calling her.  Well, one of my BM's sent me a text last night and said "Tell mom I will be at the shower.  I already have pearls and jewelry for the wedding.  I'm all set can't wait!"  This really hurt my feelings!  Ummm, you can't take 2 minutes to pick up the phone and RSVP???  It's not even like she doesn't know my mom.  We've been good friends for 15 years!  She didn't have to do anything to organize this event, the least she could do is pick up the phone!

With less than 2 months till the wedding my plate is completely full!  I have not asked my MOH or BM's for anything thus far other than to get together and pick out their dresses, which is done.  The shower is supposed to be something that I don't have to think about or be involved with at all, right?  

THEN, the second part about already having jewelry for the wedding...she was the only BM I actually sent pics to of the jewelry that I picked out for the girls.  I asked her opinion and she said she loved them, so she knew I was ordering them all matching jewelry sets!  Why would she say that??  Frown

I really want to talk to her about it, but today is her birthday so I don't want to call her up and say "hope you have a nice birthday, BTW you really hurt my feelings last night."  Should I just give it a day or two?  Should I even bother confronting her?  UGH!  Throw me a bone here! 

Am I being ridiculous?

    I think you need to take a deep breath, give it a day to blow over...you are over reacting a little bit - and I mean that in the nicest of ways.

    Your BM probably doesn't even think that telling you, is a little wrong.  Just shoot her a text back and say "hey, please let the hostesses know you are coming- not me, I am the bride!" I agree you should be out of the loop on that and damn they are lucky they are not having to do a thing!

    As for the jewelry - going out on a limb - thinking she forgot you were getting something? Either way just remind her in passing that you have already decided on the jewelry and can't wait for them to see it...that may just be enough for her to realize without having a throw down!

    HTH!

    Agree 100% with Melis.  Send the text back and remind her about the jewelry.  I had to do the same thing with one of my BM.  :)  I have to keep remembering that even though I am thinking about my BMs all the time, they are not in the same frame of mind.  :D

    yes, but that's ok. i'm sure she didn't mean any harm and she's obviously really excited about your big day so just tell her to give your mom and call to rsvp and let her know you've got the jewelry picked out already so she can return the stuff she bought and save some money if she'd like,

    Wait...they're NOT thinking about me all the time?!?  They are allowed to have a life outside of my wedding?  Tongue out Kidding!

    OK, yeah I know she didn't mean any harm.  It's completely possible that she forgot about the jewelry, so I'll cut her some slack.  I have wedding on the brain 24/7 so it's hard to imagine it any other way.
