Family Rant (sorry long)
So how ridiculous is this - I am already fighting with my sister and mom about my shower!
First of all, the shower isn't going to be for 7 months, so I don't know why they are making it into a huge deal NOW.
Here is my side, tell me if I am being unrealistic (be honest).
I expect about 25 - 35 people at my shower. I live in Queens, FH family is from long island. I grew up in central jersey but my mom has now moved to south jersey (about 35 mins SOUTH from exit 7A on the turnpike, a solid 2.5 hours from FH family). I only have about 2 friends I want to invite from central jersey and the rest of my family is spread throught jersey, mostly in the new brunswick area.
So I want to have my shower at a restuarant/hall/wherever in the new brunswick area or a little more north to make it convenient for FH family, my extended family, and all my friends (probably 30 out of the 35 people this would be best for).
My mom and sister are going nuts and dont' want to have it there and want to have it at my mom's house which I think is too far and some people might not be able to make it. I even told her to use some of the money she promised me for hte wedding to pay for the shower if money was an issue. They are deadset on this idea and won't listen to me. They even said I should have 2 showers so that they don't need to invite FH family....which i think is just the rudest thing i have ever heard of.
HELP!
