If your Mom is throwing the shower

Did she check with all of the BM's before booking?

I have asked her to, out of respect.

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

My mom and my sister are doing most of the research on where to have it and then they are going to talk to the Bms. My mom and the BMs are all spliting the cost equally I think. If your mom is paying for it herself than I don't think she has to say anything to anyone.

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

my mom called my best friend who is also a BM, she is paying for the entire cost but I think she asked them to chip in for my gift.

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

my mom did it all on her own (lucky for me, or I may not have had a shower!). When my Matron Of Honor (my cousin) received her invite, she called my mom and and offered to do the centerpieces, favors, decorations, etc. My maid of honor was appointed to get a group gift together, but she did a crap job and I didn't get a group gift from the bridesmaids (but they gave individual gifts)

I told my mom where I wanted it and everyone knows it is one of my favorite places. So no, she did not ask them at all.

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

it's already come up and they decided that it's either going to be at my mom's house or my aunts. it was also what i wanted too because i'm not really into havign showers in restaraunts - i don't feel that it's too personable

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

I think my mom will want to do most of it, but she will keep my girls in the loop - she's just not the type to take money from people.

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

Yes, my mother paid for the room and food. My MOH and BM paid for everything else so they were consulted before she chose.

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

My mom and my sister (MOH) gave me the shower so they did not consult with the other BMs.

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

My sister (MOH) did most of the shower, however, she contacted all of my BM before booking anything.

Re: If your Mom is throwing the shower

I don't know how much all the BMs were involved in the selection of the place but I do know my MOH was involved and she approved. But also non of the BMs contributed financially to the shower.
