WWYD ....shower***UPDATE

so now that I told my moh that fh and i booked a rest for my shower (kudos to fh for being a true bff and helping me find a loc. ...love u )

she said that she wants to take over the rest of planning

invites
favors
decor

should i trust her? i'm afraid she will leave everything for the last minute again and i'm going to end up doing it myself....

what to do?

***UPDATE***
So i'm an idiot and didnt listen to you guys... I emailed moh and told her abt the party loc and how now she can take care of rest

decor
favors
invites

she tells me oh cool i was going to diy the invites...

now i LOVE diy and i WISH i had skills, but i dont..i cant even cut straight....and neither can MOH.... i know she cant..hello we're bffs' for areason

i sent her a link to these invites i absolutely LOVE from weddingpaperdivas (thx for the rec barb) and she said oh they're way too expensive for only a shower....

Re: WWYD ....shower

hmm.. tricky situation bc you certainly don't want to hurt her feelings. can you have someone in your BP work with her to ensure she gets everything done early?

Re: WWYD ....shower

I would want to be in control of the invites. I don't know when or where my shower is but I had a little control with invites. My mother picked them out and my MOH ordered them. FH put them together BUT I put on the labels so I knew everyone would get one. I would let her do the favors and decorations. If you do the invites, you will know they are out on time.

Re: WWYD ....shower

let her do favors or decor .... neither of these will affect the actual day if they don't exist ....

or tell her to come up with a list of shower games to play.

give her small tasks that are important, but not imperative.

i'd def do the invitations myself though!

Re: WWYD ....shower***UPDATE

hmmm well tell her that those are the ones you really like and you'd like them to be nice. if she can diy some nices one then that's fine but she has to show you one before she makes all of them so you can approve!

Re: WWYD ....shower***UPDATE

sorry but i agree that they'r expensive ... especially if you have less people attending.

but if you really want them, tell her you'll be willing to split the cost with her (or pay for them entirely on your own).

Re: WWYD ....shower***UPDATE

maybe you could have fh email her saying that he was planning to order the invites that you loved as a surprise and did not want you to know. that way you aren't hurting her feelings and you could just order the invites you want. have her handle decor and stuff.
