So my mother and my BP are starting to plan the shower.....i was told to give them the day i would prefer to have the shower on along with all my requests and wants for my shower (favors, decor, etc...) i did all of this and the headaches started. i was being told that the date they originally wanted wasn't available and they place they wanted to have it at then i was told that i would have to postpone my bachlorette party because of it......i am getting married in july and moving in with my hubby in june, my shower (i found out) is going to be a sunday afternoon in june....isn't that too soon to the wedding????? i am furious with my mother and moh for doing this to me. it's bad enough i am under so much stress i have to worry about not moving that weekend.....is it just me, am i over reactting? or do i have a right to be mad????? help!!! i can't talk to anyone, im not supposed to know any of this!!!!!!!!

Re: Need to Vent.....
i don't think june is too soon for a shower ... as for unpacking, maybe you'll be happy to have a reason to escape it for a while
i wouldn't get too frustrated with it ... it'll work out beautifully and you'll have a great time

Re: Need to Vent.....
Why do you hate the idea of a Sunday shower? I went to a wonderful Sunday brunch shower for a friend a few years ago that was just lovely in all respects!
I had my 'shower' (we called it a ladies luncheon because my mom said no gifts) on a Saturday in late June (I too was married in July) and my bachelorette party that same night. My MOH and SIL/BM were both from OOT so it was great to have them both at the same time. Also a month or 6 weeks before the wedding doesn't make people feel like they're traveling too much back to back.
It's going to be wonderful. Don't stress yourself over it! It sounds like your family is trying to take you into consideration without you having to worry about planning it (I had to plan everything myself since my mom was prepping for major surgery after the wedding and had too much to do for that).
Just take some deep breaths, and think about how cute you're going to look in your very comfortable sun dress! It'll be a nice little break from your moving stress, and since you'll already be moved in, you'll get to use all your great new stuff in your new home right away! Perfect win-win!
