Is anyone else NOT included on the planning, but still finding that you are extermely stressed with trying to help without getting too involved? I'm ready to say forget the shower, forget favors, I'll just sacrifice the whole thing!

Re: Bridal shower stress
Awww don't be stressed..lol...I haven't started to feel that way but I am sure i will. I know when my shower is and where it is and i asked to be left out the rest, but my mom doesn't seem to get it. lol hopefully it won't get that bad. Try to remember how much fun you will have and try to enjoy it.

Re: Bridal shower stress
The only things I am stressing about is the where and when. I don't want my bridal party and my mom to be shelling out tons of money. And in all honesty I don't want my FMIL invited but I guess she has to be!!!

Re: Bridal shower stress
I'm trying to help out my mom with favor ideas and it's a disaster. I feel so guilty that I didn't stay out of it and agree that I loved the first idea she showed me. It's all my fault she's all confused now and I feel so horrible about it.

Re: Bridal shower stress
no not at all. I am actually glad its all still a surprise for me. I thought i'd feel this way but surprisingly i want nothing to do with it. My MOH is OCD and is on top of everything. She told me she has a notebook for my shower with color schemes, ideas and all the planning. Its funny bc i dont even have that for the wedding hahahaha. Plus her and my mother aren't very traditional so thats good for me, and they both know me well to know what i will like or wouldn't like.

It's still a surprise..>I have no idea where or when, but I pried about the favor because I want to make sure I like it and really shouldn't have. How can I fix this mess I've created?

Re: Bridal shower stress
i planned my shower with my sister and mom.
now i think they are taking advantage of me with the invites and typing all that ISH out grrr.
As for the favor my sister wanted to finalize it with me. BUT i told her to contact our mom since my shower is being given to me by the both of them- the favor is one thing i don't know about.
but im so excited and i can't wait for it. in fact invites aren't sent but i still peek @ my registry lol
ps my shower is WAY earlier then originally planned bc my grandma is here from Greece and is leaving end of March. o Well!

just tell her to pick whatever it is she thinks is best. Maybe if anything give her a list of suggestions and say 'here are a few of my ideas, pick one' and that you will stay out of it after that

Re: Bridal shower stress
i'm not allowed to know anything which freaks me out. my mom has a tendancy to get out of control with ideas, so hopefully my BP will keep her in check....gotta keep reminding myself this is all supposed to be fun!

Re: Bridal shower stress
Do you girls care where your shower is? Would it bother you if it were at home rather then at a restaurant?

well if it were at home the only problem id have is, where the h*LL would we put everybody lol. We are inviting 70 guests so have to do it at a restaurant or catering hall. Its already been booked but have no clue which place they booked or when but do know it wont be in a home

Re: Bridal shower stress
My shower has been a huge stressor since the topic first was discussed. between FMIL not wanting to invite her side of the family, to my psycho sister just being a nutjob about everything. I was ready to just scrap the whole shower all together

My mom would never be able to have it here..we have 100 people so far and that's not a final count....they'd never fit!

It really is stressful! I wish that my mom would ask the BP for help..it would alleviate her stress a little. I feel like I'm the only one on this site that has no help from my BP....you too, right?

Re: Bridal shower stress
my mom and sister and the rest of the bp are sooo on it, i stuck my nose in once and was told to mind my bus. there handling it, i know it will be fabulous because they all know me, i had only one request and that was no more than 50-75 guest, and i know my shower is April 20th because i have to leave work early. but i am really excited for it.
