My cousin shared the expense of her shower with a few of our family members. When we announced we were engaged, those same family members offered to "help" pay, make invites, make cupcakes, etc. I have been asked where I would like to have it (her words,not mine) what date I was thinking, who I would like to invite... Now I had two of these lovely ladies ask me when
I was getting everyone together. I don't mind making decisions, and didn't know it was so faux pas to be so involved, but I also don't want to be rude and tell them to plan it themselves! I did some research and found a cost effective location that I really like (three of us are sharing the cost) and even bought a bunch of B&BW stuff for prizes, all before finding this board.....
So my questions:
Obviously they want me to plan a get together so we can sort out details. I would like to be a indian, but I have been elected chief. Do I just run with it? I don't see anyone stepping up.
A few people have offered to "help" with no explanation THIS is why you don't plan your own party girls!! How do I ask what they are going to help with, without sounding like that girl??
I know I should not be in this so deep, but a little late now. Help!
