Bridal Shower Planning - Grooms Family and FG's Moms?
I am the MOH for my friend. She has 2 BM's and 3 FG's besides myself. The FG's are nieces all of the BM's are friends. So far I have been planning the shower with the 2 BM's and the 3 of us plan to pay for it.
My questions are: 1. Should we involve the Mothers of the FG's in the planning? 2. As MOH should I call the Grooms Mother (never met the woman) to tell her about our plans and see if there is anything she would like us to include? Or do we just send them all invites like all the other guests? Thanks for your input.

I say you definitely need to call the Groom's mother to see if the day you choose is okay for her... You wouldn't want to send out invites and then she can't make it...
If she offers some help, I would consider taking it...
As for the FG's mothers.... hmmm..... my MOH is my FG's mother so I don't have a problem there, I never thought of that.... Good question!

Re: Bridal Shower Planning - Grooms Family and FG's Moms?
what I did for my sister's shower was ask both the mom's (brides and grooms) what days would be good for them...then I asked the BM's. My sister had a FG, but I did not include her in the actual planning for the shower, but rather I asked her mom if she would want to go in on the gift from the bridal party. Of course the FG was invited to the wedding!!
Good Luck!

I would check in to make sure the date works for them and to give them some details. Who knows, they may offer to contribute somehow.

I would call the MOG to check her availability for the shower date and she may have close friends she would like to have invited.
I dont think the FG's mothers should be included in the planning unless it's a sister or someone very close like that.

I just had my friend's shower last weekend, I'm a BM and helped to plan it. The bride's mom helped with the shower and she called the groom's mom to check on the dates and get her list. We did not include the FG. But the FG's mother was the MOB's sister - so she was kept in the loop and they actually got her to the shower.
I have two Jr BM and my bridal party gave us a group engagement gift and they included them as one (they're sisters, so their mom chipped in the amt of one BM). I don't know if they're involved in the shower though. You could ask babeyblu16 - she is my MOH! And, I'm pretty sure the FG is not involved.

I would definitely say call the groom's mother. As for the FGs' moms, I guess it is really up to you - Can't really help you with that - We didn't have any FGs - Sorry!
