My mom and FMIL have offered to host a shower for me. I'm very excited for my family to meet FI's and get to see everyone, However, FMIl is driving me crazy with things. She's having fits because the green in napkins are slightly off when held next to the green ribbon on the the invites, and is very worried that the baker won't get the correct shade of green on the accents on the cake. I get wanting it to be nice, but no one is going to hold up their napkin to the invitation or decor and say "Oh, this is a shade lighter." It's going to be beautiful, even if the greens aren't exact. Which isn't really related to my question, I guess that was just a vent.
Anyway, she has come up with an idea to record gifts. Rather than having someone write the gift and who it was from on a nice organized list, she is insisting that I take out the card, read it then write the gift on the back of the card then place it into a box that she wrapped to look like a gift. I'm a very type A use lists for everything type person. I don't want to go through cards when writing thank you notes, I want a list that I can cross off.
So would it be terrible of me to ask someone to write a list for me? Or should I suck it up and go with her plan and make a list once I get home? It just seems silly to do it twice, and risk something being missed.
