Hi Girls- my mom and maids are in the process of planning my shower.
We live in Cumberland, as do 3 of my bridesmaids- the rest are traveling from out of State and staying with us.
My mom is stumped on places to have a shower. She currently has a date reserved at Kirkbrae, just becuase its clean, nice, close. etc. But isn't thrilled with their shower menu for a brunch and is thinking of doing more of a luncheon.
Anyway- my MOH called my mom suggesting places such as The Duck and Bunny (too small!), Paragon (too dark in the backroom and not the vibe we want), and Trattoria Romano (3 hr time limit and a $2000 spending minumum=too expensive).
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Here is what my mom/maids are looking for: Cute, good food, "girly" look, bright, and at least a 4 hr rental of the place. 3 hrs just seems too short to eat and open gifts and do cake etc.
Also, my mom said she wants to pay for some of the shower so the girls don't have to pay more than $100 pp. My 4 aunts are also chipping in. With my mom paying likely a larger chunk she feels like she should have some say- plus, it's my mom. She said she mentioned to my MOH that my guest list for the shower was around 55 but she knew that we would only have around 40 people and my moh said "REALLY< we only wanted to throw her a small shower with 20 people or so!" so i guess my BM's and mom aren't on the same page. My mom can't invite my one cousin, and not another. and I have 20 poeple including immediate family and friends alone..... so unless i have a separate shower with my family and one with just my college friends and bridesmaids, i don't see having a shower w 20 guests.
Ek- should I get involved and send MOH my guest list so she knows whats going on? Or just stay out.
This is hardbecuse my mom is calling me upset and I am trying to stay "uninvolved" i have enough other stuff to stress about.
