Well, I really wanted my shower to be a surprise. I knew where it was but not when. I called my sister/MOH to ask for an address to add someone to the guest list b/c FH is now working weekends and he told me to add certain people to the list.
When I asked my sister, she said well I guess this means I have to add 'her' to the shower guest list. So I said, yes, I also have some other people to add to the shower guest list. Well, she practically threw a fit and said I better get it to her immediately because I am waaaaaay late!!
I guess this means the shower is around the corner and that the invites might have actually gone out already.
I can't believe I am almost ruining my own surprise.

No matter what happens leading up to it, it's all going to be forgotten that day. Don't worry, it will be fine.
Look on the bright side, now you can start watching your registry like a hawk!!

I agree! There was no way for you to know - they are doing an early one! Or maybe they just ordered special invites and now they won't have enough? It will still be a surprise!

Re: I Just Screwed Up
Darlene don't worry! My MOH has been asking me for my list since March and I chose to KNOW when my shower is. I agree with what Suze said...you don't know for certain when it is! Either way, you'll have an amazing day!

Re: I Just Screwed Up
It could be soon, my mom shocked me by having my shower on her anniversary, June 26, a full 4 months before the wedding!
I wanted to add my boss' wife (even though I can't stand her), but the shower was the next week, who knew?!!?!?!?
She should have just gone with it....but you'll have a great time no matter what!

Darlene,
You are not ruining it! Your sister should have just played along... even if it's this weekend! I am sorry that she made you feel bad... you should not!

Hollie it is so funny that you said even if was this weekend she should have played along - there is a party TOMORROW at her house, but I know beyond any shadow of a doubt it's not my shower, it's my niece's first b-day party!

For me, the only thing that could be a surprise is the date. I know exactly where it is.

Re: I Just Screwed Up
Aw Darlene, don't be upset! I found out when my shower was and got so upset about it - but in the end it didn't really matter - the shower was still a wonderful time. It is so hard to keep these things a secret, it just involves so many people.

It's not so much that I have now realized it is soon - I just don't want the few people I just added to feel like they were an after thought, (they weren't, we just really couldn't afford to include them, but something happened this week to change that) and my sister made it sound like the invites went out already and it will be really bad form to include the people I just gave her.

Darlene don't be upset! The people you added will not know the difference unless someone tells them when the invites do out. It will be an amazing day and I'm sure you'll be surrounded by people who care immensly about you and won't care where their names are on the invite list. Don't worry!!!

I wouldn't worry about it either. Even if it is coming up soon, the people who got invited later won't know. They will just think its your sisters fault for sending out the invites late LOL.

I didn't ask any questions about the shower - I truly don't want to know. But you may remember about a month ago I posted about whether or not to include my sister's best friend on my guest list. I was a little caught off guard when my family got upset that she was 'a part of the family' but I didn't invite her. FH & I had a very very strict number of guests that we could afford at the reception and we truly believed that even 2 extras would be a financial difficulty. Well, as I mentioned, something happened earlier this week to change that somewhat, so all I did was call her for the correct spelling on her friend's last name and she went nuts!
