my bridal shower is SUPPOSED to be a surprise. but last month when i was talking with fi's stepmom she starting going on about how she doesn't think she's going to be able to make it to my shower on august 19th blah blah blah.
THEN, i just get an email yesterday from fi's friend's wife saying that she got the invitation and wanted me to know that she's not going to be able to make it. she didn't mention anything about the date, but knowing that the invites have gone out has given me a clue on potential dates (if fi's step mom was trying to throw me off).
i just don't get what people don't get about the word 'surprise'!!!

Re: 'surprise' - what don't people get
I totally understand. Despite FH and his best friend (who is one of my BM and is helping FMIL throw one of my showers) telling her that I don't want to know anything, she continues to call me and tell me all the details - the date, who is coming, the food, everything! Arg!

yeah, i tried that...didn't work. i really didn't want a surprise b/c i'm a little bit of, um, a control freak. i didn't/don't like the idea of not knowing what my plans are. i mean, it's 4 months until the wedding and i have a lot of stuff to do, and i like tto schedule things in advance. how am i supposed to do that when i don't know what weekend i'm going to be busy with my shower.
anyhow, moh was pretty annoyed that i made that request and told me, in not these exact words, to butt out and let her handle it b/c it's supposed to be a surprise.

I know...I have such a prize on my hands! I also overheard FMIL loudly speaking about my mom's shower that she is throwing so I have a pretty good idea of when that one is too but at least they are ATTEMPTING to keep it a surprise!

It isn't fair especially when you want it to be a surprise. And you're totally right, people just don't get it!

Re: 'surprise' - what don't people get
that is so annoying! i mean its one thing when someone slips up and about the shower and then feels sorry about it - but to talk openly about it!!
look on the bright side - now you can wear someting special that day
I have no clue what people are thinking. I guess they assume that since your getting married a shower automatically comes with it? I don't know. Up until last week my friend, M, didn't know when her shower was. Then her aunt who was visiting said to her that she was sorry she couldn't stay for her shower bc she couldn't get off of work. It's this weekend! She's getting her hair done beforehand.

Re: 'surprise' - what don't people get
I have made it very clear to everyone that I want to know NOTHING about any shower...and they are doing really well with keeping a secret. I even told my FH, I want to walk into it, and not even see it coming!
It will be hardest for him to keep it a secret, bc most likely, it will be him who has to get me there.
