So should I be offended?

Original post by bumbleb

My wedding is in 5 days and no-one has bothered to plan any bachelorette party or shower. True I said I didn't want a TYPICAL shower with gifts and stuff, but jeez at least make me feel a little special and take me to lunch or something. My 'MOH' dropped the ball big time, when she suggested I contact everyone to make plans for my bachelorette party. I refused and gave her all the contacts, but nothing.
Why have I been crazy trying to find these people the perfect gifts????? Why are they getting gifts at all????
A little initiative people, take it!

I am not having a wedding shower, but really everyone is different about the whole wedding thing. My family has no clue of what to do at all. Sometimes you have to tell people flat out what you want, I know that may be forward but you can't expect it. I decided against the bridal shower bc when I got engaged I received a lot of gifts and it may be a bit much to have a bridal shower too.

Wow, I am really sorry. I think it is awful that your MOH has not planned something special for you (sorry to be blunt and I don't mean to make you feel worse). I wonder why she did not plan anything even though you gave her all the contact info?

She stated to me that she 'isn't good at these things, that she would know what I wanted but not everyone else'.

I agree, which is why I made mention of wanting a simple girls day out where we could get manicures, lunch no outrageous thing. Everyone is making me feel like I'm putting them out with their busy schedules and all.

Sorry that you are feeling offended - I would be offended too!

THe only thing I can think of is that maybe this is their first BP they have been in - because I have seen this happen before - some people don't know what to do, and some people are just INCONSIDERATE!

I am so sorry....They must not realize how incredibly rude that is, but do not let it ruin your wedding day! They are the fools who will have to answer to all the people at the wedding who wonder why they weren't invited to your shower.
I am very lucky my bridesmaids have been pretty awesome so far...

that's not nice, I cannot believe they did not do anything for you. did you let them know how you feel? I wouldn't be able to hide it.

i totally understand. i had a shower but as far as a bach. party...hah! one of my bm wanted to throw me the bach party but seeing no one was doing a shower for me, she chose to do that. my moh had nothing for me. not like i was expecting anything, but when i got together with my moh and another bm, it was nothing special...they didn't even treat me to coffee...so i understand exactly how you feel. i'm sorry...screw em!

Id be Pissed. My girls sucked and all they did was fight with each other while planning my shower. I cried every night saying I don't even want a shower. It was so bad that I told them not to plan my Bach Party I wanted to do it (I couldn't imagine the drama that would have caused) At first I said I wanted to go to the city my cousins said no they didn't want to pay cover charges at clubs. Then I was like maybe the hamptons but thought No I want to goto atlantic city. Well My 2 cousins (same ones with the city) refused to go there also. So I went anyway. Ill never EVER forget that though. Plan for yourself. I did.

you never know. maybe there's still a suprise. if not, try to look past it at this point so that the negative energy doesn't flow on your wedding day... which will be fabulous!!!focus on your FH and wedding day.
