The only person to offer me a bridal shower is FH's cousin who is a bridesmaid but isnt even my maid of honor. So I think its so sweet of her to go out of her way. My MOH is my sister and she lives in Philly, theres no way she would be able to set one up for me. Well, Im annoyed because FH's cousin needs all this info because she doesnt know who to invite and I tried to tell my mom to help her and all she says is, 'Tell her she can use the house' She isnt making any other effort to help her so you know who has to help, ME. Does this make sense? FH is trying to take over but I still have to make a list of who to invite which I dont mind, I also have to figure out how to set up my moms house, get a table, etc. and it just upsets me that my own family cant get together to help out with this. I feel like my family should be helping out a lot more in order to take some weight off my shoulders. I feel bad for FH's cousin cuz she's so sweet and shouldnt be doing this herself. Isnt this supposed to be a surprise for me? Am I being selfish? Okay vent over.

Re: Bridal Shower Vent
that is soo nice of her to do. I'd be upset too if i were you... and I still think your sister/MOH can't help set one up for you - all she needs is a phone and the internet and maybe talking to your mom. I hope mine would if i was in that situation.
You shouldn't have to do it. I am going to help with mine but mine's not a surprise so it doesn't matter.
But I think it's really great that his cousin realizes that you should be having a shower and wants to help!!

Re: Bridal Shower Vent
In an ideal world, bridal showers should be a secret, but it doesn't always work out that way. I agree, however, that you shouldn't be saddled with extra work...sorry that's happened.
Are bridal showers not common in your family? I know some people see it as a waste of money. At least your family wasn't totally against it, and they're letting you use your mom's house.
Plus, once you see everyone there and start opening gifts, you'll forget all about it!

Re: Bridal Shower Vent
aww .. well on the bright side you get to have the final say on who is invited :) hopefully you wont have to do any work. just tell the cuz that while it is EXTREMELY nice of her to plan this, that after providing the guest list you dont want any more involvement. and slip her your mother's phone number w/ the guest list :)
