Well....it was only a matter of time before FMIL blew the shower suprise

I knew she would do this... My mom has been keeping the whole thing a secret. She was even denying that I was having one all together. Well FMIL was talking to my mom on the phone while I was at FH's house and I hear her say 'Oh, when is it?' and then she repeats 'APRIL!' My heart just sunk! My mom is the only person who can pull suprises over my head. I know she's been working so hard on this and really wanted me to be suprised. I was looking forward to being suprised too. I had no idea when it was going to be (anywhere from Feb. to May) and now I know it's one of the weekends in April. I'm just so sad about this.

Dont be so upset. At least you know your mom tried really hard for you. I am sure your FMIL didnt MEAN to ruin the surprise....besides...maybe its part of bigger plot to throw you off and its really in may

Unfortunately, that's not the case...I wish it were though. I know she didn't mean to but she's very airheaded like that. She does things like this all the time.

I purposely am NOT checking our answering machine whenever I come home. I love being surprised. I do feel bad for your mom though. She sounds like she's all about making your day special!!!!!

Ohhh - but do you know WHEN in April?

That stinks. Funny thing is that I'm waiting for one of my future in laws to blow it for me too. MY FSIL already slipped in front of me about someone not being on the shower guest list. She didn't give away much at all, but she felt really bad.

That stinks, but remember..... this is about you and your FH getting married! The shower is a detail.

I'm sorry!!! Just think of how hard your mom worked on making your shower perfect! It'll be great regardless of you knowing about it!

Re: Well....it was only a matter of time before FMIL blew the shower suprise

I'm sorry Irene, but there are at least 4 weekends in April....tell your fh to have something for each weekend...that way you'll never know which event is IT!

On a somewhat related note. FH said he had to go over to his parents apartment (down the hall from ours) this evening and I asked him why. And I knew his reason was a lie...it sounded like he made it up. Then later on his mom called and was asking him questions. I could tell he was getting annoyed...talking about email and crap. When he got off the phone with her, I asked what she wanted and he said he couldn't tell me. So here I am thinking he's hiding something serious from me. But then he's like I'm not getting in the middle of this. And going on and on about how I know what it's about and that I ruined it for myself. I still don't know exactly what he was talking about - I am just guessing it's bridal shower related. If only FMIL would have just asked him to come over instead of talking to him on the phone. We live in a small apartment - so there's no privacy. Ugh.

I totally get what you girls are saying. I think I felt even worse for my mom than I did for myself. She's an amazing person. I don't really give a crap about the presents or what I'll be wearing that day.

Jess...funny thing you said that. FH said the same thing. Thanks for all the support girls

Irene, I'm so sorry you found out about your shower. Even though you already know it's in April it's still going to be great. At least your mom is planning your shower. My mom was trying to plan my surprise shower with my cousin and she wanted no part in it. She has no help from the rest of my Bridal party so she turn to me. I also wanted my shower to be a surprise but now I'm planning my own shower.. I put the deposit on the restaurant, did my own invites pretty much planned the whole thing with my mom.. Everyone still thinks it's a surprise. I've been practicing on my surprise face... lol

I did! After he started getting mad that I was asking. I just didn't think his mom would be that involved in the planning. She hasn't really been involved with anything else yet.

Ouch!! Im so sorry Irene. That is definately something my FMIL would do, so I know how you feel right now.

Re: Well....it was only a matter of time before FMIL blew the shower suprise

Maybe this will cheer you up.....
My FMIL was personally told by my mother when my shower was and when my FSIL asked her for the date (invites were not sent yet) she replied 'I don't know, I forgot'.
Yeah....now that makes me feel important! I guess this event is not importnat enough to remember, especially since FH is the first child to actually have a wedding. I am just waiting to walk into their house one day and see the invite posted up on the fridge. I just having a feeling that it will happen. I know you are bummed for finding out, but cheer up and don't let it ruin 'your' special time.
