So, I know that I am not supposed to know anything about my shower, but I do. I know everything thanks to my MOH who doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. It has been nothing but drama--which i will not go into fully i just wanted everyone's opinions. My MOH was trying to have my shower in a restaurant and it was going to run everyone $200-$400 bucks, but some people in my bridal party said they can't afford that. They offered to throw me a nice bridal shower in their backyard-tents, food catered from a great Italian restaurant, and decorations, sangria etc. They made it sound like it would be nice--and they would get discounts on everything because they are in the restaurant business. I have no problem with my shower being in a backyard. I am a very simple person. But it seems like my MOH kind of has a problem with it. She said that whatever no one can afford she will pay for, and i think that is wrong on so many levels. First of all, she can't afford to do that, and second i feel like that makes the other bridesmaids feel like crap. So, my question is....is there anything wrong with have a bridal shower in a nice backyard which is pretty big and nice??? Is it tacky? I would think it was fine to have my shower in the backyard if it wasn't for my MOH. UGH, Drama---she hates my FMIL and is causing me so much drama.

I'm sorry you are going through that stress. I'm having issues with my MOH too but it's kind of opposite-she doesn't want to help with paying for any of it. She actually e-mailed me asking how much i plan to contribute after I e-mailed her the list!

So, I just wanted to update you all my MONSTER of HONOR is no longer in my bridal party and we are not on speaking terms. I plan on never speaking to her again. She was so rude and mean to me, cursed me out, and said she isn't coming to my bridal shower or wedding if my shower is in the backyard. I was so mad! GROW UP!!! UGH! People are freaking crazy! But, I am fine....i feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders!

That's terrible that she reacted that way. I feel like this sort of stuff brings out the best and worst in people

I think people are taking these showers too far with restaurants, banquet halls and the like. Having your shower in a nice backyard is way more relaxing and unrestricted than any of these places. A lot of times, you are not even ready to leave at the requested time and you are looking for somewhere else to continue the fun which usually ends up in someone's yard so you might as well start it there.
Absolutely agree a million times.

I agree with the ladies here! Theres nothing wrong with a shower held in your backyard. I think it's intimate and has a nice relaxed feel to it. Some of the best showers I've been to was held at someones house! :)
