I'm so ready to tell my sister to forget about throwing me a shower! she has had 2 meetings with my BM and asked them all to contribute $150 towards my shower. Noone had a problem with that. Then one of my BM emails her and says she went through her finances and can only afford to contribute $50. That's right! A third of what everyone else is putting in and one tenth of what my sister is paying! So now my sister and FSIL are making up the difference. My sister mentioned in an email to them all that the one BM was only putting in $50 and now she's trying to fight with my sister. She sent my sister a nasty email telling her that she has no right to judge her finances and she shouldn't have said anything the the rest of the BP. The reason why my sister told is because she thinks it's BS that she's pulling this. Mind you, this girl lives at home, took a $2000 trip earlier this year, put $1000 in for a summer house share, and goes away every weekend, etc... I don't know what to do. I don't want my sister and my BM to be in a fight with everything (shower, bach. party, wedding) coming up.

And to be quite honest i think that your BM's are doing quite a lot for you, saving for a trip Bachlorette party, the dresses, the make-up, hair etc etc... it is a lot!
I don't know, call me selfish, but I don't think I'm asking for that much. Their dresses were $150 ( and I let them pick it out), they don't have to have their hair or makeup done if they don't want to, and the bachelorette trip was their idea.

Well i guess we all have different expectations of our BM's...to me what you described above is VERY generous... I was called selfish for asking my BM's to wear a specific shoe!!!!!
Either way i don't think the situation is going to change so you all should either bend with it or go down fighting....i guess to me the $100 isn't worth the arguements!
