We’ve decided to have a micro wedding (less then 25) out of caution for safety and keeping restrictions in mind. We will be streaming the event for our extended family and friends.
My MOH called me to ask how I feel about going forward with their bridal shower plan. (We were planning for 100 at the wedding so the shower list was about 45.) I told her I don’t feel comfortable inviting anyone who isn’t invited to the actual wedding. I find it tacky and very selfish to invite someone to give me gifts but not celebrate my wedding. I would be incredibly uncomfortable at the shower.
She and other bridal party members just want us to have the normal wedding experience and keep saying they’ll do whatever they can to make that happen. While I really appreciate the sentiment, I’m frustrated that they can’t accept the reality like I have and I feel like I have to defend all my hard decisions. I suggested a small shower with only those invited to the wedding.
Anyone else in a similar boat? What are you doing in the situation? How are you handling the pushy family/bridal party?
