Butt-insky self-invited guest dilemma, please help

A not so close family friend told the gal throwing my shower that she wanted to co-host my bridal shower. She wasn't going to be invited to the wedding because we weren't going to invite anyone from that particular circle, which is more my parents' circle than mine. So inviting her would not only risk our relationship with all the people from that circle who won't be invited, I barely know the woman and don't really like what I do know. The wedding is still a ways off, so nothing is set in stone. Does anyone have any ideas for how we can say, "thanks but no thanks" without making things really awkward every time my family finds ourselves in the same room with her?

  • Let your gal pal know she isn't invited to the wedding and she can tell her, "Thanks for the offer but I got it covered. I'll let you know how it turns out!" Have her bean-dip the conversation: 

    Example: NSC Family Friend- "I want to help host rekohler's bridal shower!"
                  Pal- "Thanks but I've got that covered. Have you tried this bean dip?"
                  NSC Family Friend- "But I must help host, you have to let me!!"
                  Pal- "Is this onion powder or carmelized onions in this dip! I've got to get the recipe, will you excuse me?"

    Lather, rinse, repeat. If the friend tries to approach you or your family member about it just have them do the same thing. If you refuse to talk about it then she can't do anything about it.
  • Ditto Jordan. Just cut her off at the knees whenever she tries to butt in. 


    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
