can you talk with his family who lives upstate to see if they can carpool or mind driving for the shower in LI? i would start there and see how they react.

Try talking to his family and let them know how you and FH feel. If you cant talk to them, have FH talk to them...

I think that she and her family can take a drive to her FDIL's one and only shower... Why should you be inconvenienced when you're the guest of honor. Have FH talk to her and lay down the law.

I don't think you should have to do this that all... why do you have to drive there? Why can't they drive here? Try explaining to her that there is ONE Bridal Shower. Or maybe have FH try and talk to her.

Ok, so I spoke to her and she's ok with just having one shower here on LI now. She really didnt make a big deal out of it, so I dont know why really wanted to have 3 in the first place. She thinks some of the upstate crowd will be able to come down. If some people can come thats great, if not, thats ok too! I def thought 3 showers would be way too overwhelming and take up a lot of time right before the wedding too. Thanks for all your opinions!
