The Bridal Shower

I am part of a large family marrying into another large family. Two weekends ago was my best friends bridal shower and bachelorette party. I was so busy I realized I never went to my fiances cousins bridal shower. I don't even know if I responded to the invite! His cousin and I aren't close, but we are the same age and graduated together....and we're skipping their wedding to be IN our friends wedding..Is there any way to fix this situation so his family won't hate me?

Re: The Bridal Shower

  • Just apologize sincerely. I would be honest - tell her that it was also your best friend's wedding party weekend and the day got away from you. Surely even though it's soon-to-be family, she would understand that you were celebrating your best friend's upcoming wedding. I'd also send a gift, but that;s me.

  • I would tell the bride about your best friend's wedding etc. in a nice card along with a shower gift!  I would also make sure to send them a wedding gift!
  • Thanks so much, I appreciate your advice!
