We're not having an engagement party and as for a shower. My sister wants to do a tea party with just my sisters and all my future SILs - I'm fine with that but....my FH's family expects more - a larger one with his mom and aunts and some cousins. B/c we're not having the eparty I'm thinking about expanding the shower - although its pricey then too. What's everyone else doing?

Re: Bridal Showers/E parties
We had an e-party with both sides invited. I will have a shower where basically all the women invited to the wedding will be invited to the shower with the exception of any co-workers and any 'and-guest' dates. So basically it will be all the women in my family and FI's family as well as friends from both sides.
I hope that wasn't too confusing! LOL

Re: Bridal Showers/E parties
Frankly, the way it's SUPPOSED to go is that, if you're FH's family is 'expecting' a bigger shower, then THEY should get together and throw one for you!! YOU shouldn't be throwing a shower for yourself, and if your sister can't afford to throw a bigger one, that's not her fault either, it's very generous of her to throw you one at all.
In reality though, you can handle it however you like.
Also - an eparty should have nothing to with the size of the shower. The purpose of eparties, IMO, is not for receiving gifts, unlike a shower.
