Last week I posted that my BM's weren't willing to contribute what my MOH was asking of them ($200). The drama continues. My MOH is trying to compromise with them and see what they feel comfortable with. They say $100/each.
I shouldn't be angry because I know things are rough for everyone but I know that 1 BM in particular is VERY well off and shes the one giving my MOH the biggest issue.
I just want to cry and say screw the shower if no one wants to contribute towards it
their dress is cheap. i bought their shoes and doj and they dont have to pay for hair or m/u.

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
thanks girls....im the most upset that they can't try to 'work something out', instead they are trying to negotiate with my MOH if i was a bm and didnt have the money right now i would be honest and say 'i can only give you $___ right now, i will try to get more together in the next few months' but thats just me

Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
I'm kinda in the same position, except my bridesmaids are all out of state and don't make very much money so I feel bad asking them to pay for my shower considering they won't even be around for it. My future MIL wants to call them up and ask them for money, but I feel funny doing this. I say we just have it at somebody's house and have some appetizers and wine and I'd be perfectly happy, but I think my future MIL feels pressure to have it at a fancy restaurant and pay a fortune. Not sure what to do about it either, and its frustrating that everyone is stressing me out about it. I'm about to say forget the whole shower its causing more stress than its worth.
Re: The Shower Drama Continues with my crappy BM's
Maybe your MOH can say that their shower gift to you is what they contribute. For a good friend I would easily spend $100 on a shower gift. Maybe they think they have to pay for the shower and buy a gift on top of that.. If your MOH explains that the contribution is the gift maybe then they will budge.
