in June 2012 Weddings
May 19th is going to be my shower than my mom is throwing. Over the weekend I checked out her guest list to make sure all the names i sent her were on there. Im a little upset because several of the guest she added are part of the 65+ crowd. This then brought up the coversation of " Its gonna be weird if i get underwear in front of all these old women..."  I was then informed that this shower was going to be a more of a " house hold" shower. NOT what i had explained i wanted since this is the only shower i'm going to have. OH WELL the invitations are send. My mom is not really happy about the wedding anyway and over the weekend she explained to me she is only doing what she "has" to do.. LOVELY!  I would think after 4 months she would get over it.  oh well.... sorry for the rant! lol

    I'm sure that you'll have a great time, just focus on the positives and hopefully your mom will come around with the wedding

    technically, if she is throwing you the shower, she gets to throw it how she wants.  it would be great to be heard, but i would just try to remmeber that it's gracious of her to throw you a shower.  maybe some of your girlfriends will have a party for you that's a little more along the lines of what you were hoping for.  i haven't been on the boards for several months, so i don't really know the history between you and your mom, but i hope you are able to have fun.  and presents are always fun-regardless of what they are!  if you get lingerie, the older crown will just have to deal with it-i bet most of them were brides to be at one point and a lot of them probably have children of their own, so it's not like they don't know what's going on! :)

    oh, and i'm sorry that she said that to you (about only doing what she has to do).  that would have really hurt my feelings.  just remember that there are a lot of people out there excited for you (including this board!)

    I guess that depends on the family. the first time I spent Christmas with my now fiance, his mom and sister bought me a whole box of VS panties. and I'm not talking hip-huggers, I'm talking tiny little thongs with lace and what not. They unwrap the gifts one by one for everyone to see what everyone got... so I had to do this in from of about 20 people, including the older crowd. contrary to what I had expected, everyone just thought it was funny. nobody was weirded out or judging. it turned out quite amusing for them because my face was RED! :)

    Also, did you only talk to your mom about what you'd like your shower to be like? Was she maybe uncomfrotable with the lingerie thing?

    If one of YOUR guests (sorry couldn't help myself Wink) brings a gift that you don't want to share with the 65+ crowd, don't open the gift all the way.  Say, "Well....That's for the honeymoon. Ladies, I'll let you use your imagination! Thank you, Gift Giver! It's beautiful and I know FI will love it!" and then close the box or bag and move on to the next gift.  Even the 65+ crowd knows some of the activities that happen on a honeymoon. Laughing

    GL on dealing with a mom, who seams. maybe less than enthusiastic about (parts of) your wedding.  Hopefully, it's just a case of "my baby is growing up too fast"! When things get ugly, just think about your honey's face the 1st time he sees you on your wedding day! I have a feeling that will cheer you up!
