Shower not a surprise (LONG)

I am writing under an assumed name in case of family snoopers.
I really wanted my shower to be a surprise, I went to great lengths to make sure everyone knew that I wanted nothing to do with it. Now, I get an email from my mom that is a forward from my aunt, my cousin has been in a car accident and it was an update on how she is doing. Well, It also contained something about my cousin not being able to make it to my shower May 16th. Now I know. I dont want to know. Should I tell my mom that I know or just act like it was a surprise when I walk in. I feel so sad and guilty that I saw this information. I really want to cry, because I wanted the shower to be a surprise so much. Im sorry, I just needed to vent.

If I were you, I wouldn't say anything - it's too close to change (obviously) and they are all concerned about your cousin. Put a smile on, act surprised, and have a great time!!

I have something similar going on - wanted my shower to be a surprise - told everyone that - and the dumbass FH leaves a piece of paper with my best friend's phone number on it and a date in late June!! I put two and two together and called Best Friend (who posts on here) to tell her what I saw and if it was still a date that was just being thrown around - that i had seen it!!

I'm sorry - it's disappointing when a surprise is spoiled.

I would pretend not to know anything and act surprised. It seems like they all tried really hard to keep the surprised and the forwarded email was a mistake.

I hope your cousin is ok.

Something similar happened to me, something was given to me that had the date and I saw

It wasn't intentional in either case and everyone has worked so hard, I would pretend that it was a surprise....I did and I'm so glad. It made me happier and it made them happier
