    Your poor BM is just trying to do one of her duties. Maybe if you gave her more work she'd feel more included?

    You can buy YOURSELF anything you'd like- it's YOUR money! :)

    Now to tell others what to buy you is wrong, but in this case, you are 100% right. There is nothing that anyone "has" to get you. If they "want" to get you a cake cutter, great, but it isn't a set-in-stone thing as to who is supposed to buy it for the bride.

    I wouldn't kick her out of your bridal party, though. I don't know if you were considering that, but I too feel it's a bit harsh. A friendship isn't worth ruining over a cake cutter.

    [QUOTE]Last week I posted that I bought my blue garter and one of my bridesmaids said that the BM are suppose to give that to me at the bachelorette party.  I felt bad because I didn't know.  Then the ladies on here reassured me she was wrong. This past weekend the BM and I were at my house when the mail man came on Saturday.  I finally received a package I ordered in February from The Knot.  I ordered monogramed cocktail napkins and the cake cutter set also monogrammed.  They look great by the way although it did take a month and 2 days for delivery.  Before even saying that's nice she said the cake cutter set is something people are suppose to give you on your bridal shower.  I felt bad again but then I thought, first I don't even know when my bridal shower is and what if I don't get it and then have to spend much more to get it quick right before the wedding.  I was very happy with the sale I got 200 monogrammed napkins and cake cutter set for $40.  I just let it go but jeeeez I think if I want to get whatever I should and not feel bad or awkward about it. Mini Vent Over :-)

    </div><div>Let see I bought myself a pair of blue bridal underwear for the wedding, bought the NHL Flyers garter to surprise FI (his favorite team). And my BM's are the ones that informed me of the underwear which were adorable. I've never heard of the BM's buying that for me. My sister even told me she was thinking about buying us glasses for the wedding toast when she was on vacation but she thought she better not just in case we already got it. </div><div>
    </div><div>Perhaps those were two ideas she had planned to gift you? Not sure but she needs to relax.
