Bridal shower?

Bridal shower?

I have to give a list of people to my MOH (my sister) for the bridal shower. Who do you invite to the bridal shower?

Also, one of my BM's told my MOH that it was my mom's job to pay for the shower? Is this true?

It depends. My FMIL paid for my FSIL's shower b/c she was the only daugther. I have three sisters and that would be impossible for my mom, so my Bridal party paid for it.

I would ask your mom, FH mom to look over your wedding list, and let you know who to invite. That's what I did.

My MOH invited all the women that are invited to my wedding (unless they were the wives of people that I didnt know)

My mom is paying but I wish my girls would kick in a little.

I didnt want mine to get out of hand and invite every woman thats invited to the wedding because then you also have to keep in mind your asking people for 2 gifts as well... At the end of the day I THINK you DO need to remember that... JMO but I've been invited to girls showers that Im NOT friends with AT ALL just because Im their FH's friends Fiance and I didnt go and now Im stuck buying a present which was a lil annoying... =/

So I kept mine to close friends and family... Plus my FMIL's her invites. My MOH did all the planning but my mother paid for the restaurant and the BM and mostly MOH paid for decorations and invites I believe... FMIL also offered money but my mom wouldnt take it from her...

It totally depends... I think your mom is supposed to be responsible for a lot of it but I guess the bridal party can also chip in to help with other things OR at least help with the planning IMO...

I gave myMOH a lsit of people that were invited to the wedding, then it was up to her. My mom stepped away from the shower b/c I ahve so many girls she thought she should leave it up to them, so I think just my girls are doing it.

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it.

Traditionally, it is considered poor etiquette for the bride's mother to be throwing a shower. The shower is supposed to be thrown by the Bridal Party.

I have been a bridesmaid more times than I care to think about. Each time, while the mother paid for some of the shower, we all chipped in.

My mother is throwing my shower. I have a small bridal party (MOH, JRB and Flower Girl). I gave her names of all of the women on my side and immediate family on FH's side (FMIL, FSIL, Grandmothers, Aunts and first Cousins). It was around 58 people.
