I'm the queen of surprises but I think my mom and sister are actually trying to surprise me..

I gave them hints to help them ...I even told them to send me an invite to someone else's party, etc... but they just keep telling me to not worry because I'm not having one..

Wow...I'm curious if I will actually be surprised...any girls have an idea when or where??

I dont know where or when!!
I know that it is going to be set soon. My MOH told me that she was setting the date with in a couple of days, she just had to clear the date with one last person.

I want to help.... but on the other hand I rather be surprised. However I want to look cute!!!

I know when mine is...My shower is out of town so it was a little harder to surprise me. I am not planning it or anything but i wanted to know when and where. It's hard to surprise me anyway, i have a tendency to snoop at my registry so I would know it was coming anyway...

Me too....I basically told mom and MOH that I wouldn't be able to guarantee I'd be on Long Island unless I knew about it...so I know the date---and I also know the location, b/c my aunt spilled the beans that it's at her house (which is lovely) b/c she didn't know it was a surprise....but it's fine, I hate surprises! (which my MOH knows from a surprise 20th bday party my friends threw me when we were in college!)

Re: Who knows about their shower?

At first I wanted to help plan mine bc I can be pretty picky about certain things. Then my MOH really stepped up and told me to stay out of it and she will make sure everything is how I would do it. And I'm so glad she did bc I am soooo excited to be surprised! I have to say that this whole process really showed how great of a friend my MOH is and how well she knows me. She told me the other night that some of my other girls wanted to do something at the shower that she had to open her mouth and say NO bc she knew I wouldn't like it. I also know that it was booked yesterday and my mom didn't have the money to put the deposit so my MOH showed up with the money to put the deposit down so they wouldn't lose the day. I'm pretty sure it's sometime in April bc that's what I requested. I wanted it at least 2 months before the wedding

Re: Who knows about their shower?

I feel so bad, I wish I was surprised. I'm basically in charge of planning my own bridal shower. I have a MOH but my grandmother offered to pay for it and plan it so I told my MOH she was off the hook. In the meantime, my grandmother is paying for it but it's up to me to do all the planning and as nice as it was for my grandmother to do that and I know she had great intentions...... I have so many other things to do for the wedding and for work. I don't have time to plan my own bridal shower and grandmother lives almost an hour away so its hard for her too. I think I just might not have one. My parents have already been bugging me about getting the invitations for it and other details, it's just becoming more of a pain in the butt than anything else

Re: Who knows about their shower?

I really want to know--so that I look nice
I was actually arguing with FH to find out the date and he wants no part of it, cause if I know that he knows the date, I will bother him all day everyday to find it out

you can look nice for your shower...for one tell give your moh or mom some dresses and shoes to bring with them...Second, if you are being taken out on a sunday around noon then to be safe just dress up

I said I want to know some things. They will keep certain things a secret from me.

Having computer difficulty....
I'm not a big fan of surprises either, I'm much too moody for that. Besides, thank goodness they asked...my Mom wanted it in MAY, I want it in Sept.

My shower already happened, but I knew about it. I wanted to be surprised so badly, and I pretended to be surprised but soooo many people blew it for me in the few weeks leading up to the shower I was actually shocked by NOT careful everyone was lol.
