Finally had to say something!!!!!! DONNA , YOU MAY NOT LOOK AT THIS THREAD!!!!!

Hi, Girls!!! Well, Donna was giving us a hard time!!!!! She received a fake Bridal Show Invitation which is REALLY HER SHOWER!!!!!!! Debi and I warned her to have an open mind, re: anything, but........... On my Husband's Birthday, April 30th, when we were at her place, she pulled out the fake letter, saying with a grin on her face, 'I got this Bridal Show Invitation', and I tried, but failed, to keep a straight face. Soooooo, I must have a done a terrific job in covering up. The next thing I knew, she threw the letter in the trash can!!!!! And, the sales coordinator at the hotel, had put on the letter, that she had to bring it to get into the Bridal Show. Sooooo, I said, ' Donna, get that out of the trash!!!!!!!' She looked horrified, and pulled it out. The envelope had gotten messy, but she had the letter. Sooooo, I asked her FSIL, Karen, to call, and tell Donna that her friend got one too, and can they attend together? Donna told her that her Friend, Tiffany was going with her!!!!! Sooooo, then when Donna and I recently went shopping for my MOB gown at King of Prussia, which, BTW, I'm returning, Donna told me SHE DOESN'T PLAN TO GO TO 'THAT BRIDAL SHOW' !!!!!!!!!!!! Soooooo, I wrote and called Karen, saying, 'HELP!!!!', and left a message with Grandson, for Josh to call me. Well, yesterday, Donna called, and I told her, 'In re: to that Bridal Show, I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO ATTEND!!!!!! Then, she said, 'Well, Tiffany got mad at me, when I told her I wasn't going, because she got off work to go!!!!!' Then, she giggled!!!!! Soooo, to keep her guessing, I plan to ask my sales coordinator, who's been really helpful, if I can make a fake Bridal Show Sign, to put in the lobby; I will have written on it, 'Bridal Show, by INVITATION ONLY', so hotel guests don't think it's real, just to keep Donna guessing!!!!! I told the guests to park in back of the hotel, so she does not see any familiar vehicles!!!!! I didn't know it would be so difficult to give Donna the Surprise Shower she wants!!!!! Just cooperate, Donna, and stop exasperating
me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mary MOB

this is VERY funny, Mary. Donna is going to when she realizes what this was all about.

This is so funny! She is going to die laughing when she realizes how much trouble you've gone through just to get her to go to the darn thing! You are a very committed MOB, Mary!

Thanks, girls!!! I think when Karen told her she had a friend, who got a letter as well, then she WAS CONFUSED!!!!!! And, yesterday, Donna even mentioned Karen told her Katrina was going too, expecting me to confirm or deny, which I did neither!!!! I even told my sales coordinator, that now that Donna had booked their HM, she might not come, and we should add that one of the Grand Prizes is a Big Screen TV!!!!!! Josh told her, 'Hey, we could use a big screen TV!!!!!!' I surely thought electronics would entice her!!!!!!! Mary MOB

I totally agree!!! That is something I would do if I knew. I would throw it in the trash just to get 'a rise' out of you...but either way, she will LOVE it!
