Bridal shower stress

Emily, on July 18, 2023 at 2:43 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 2

Hello ladies!

So, my mom is planning my bridal shower along with my two grandmothers. In her day she had a shower for both her side and my dad's side of the family. She started planning the shower for and rented a gorgeous room that fits about 36 people. My close friends and family are invited along with my fiancé's mom, grandma and aunt (who helps take care of his grandma). His sister (my matron of honor) hasn't been helping plan much of anything besides the bachelorette party, which is totally fine with me. Today last minute she asked me if I invited his other aunts whom I've never met/ my fiancé only really knows the one aunt I invited. I told her I did not, as I've never met them and felt like that was just seeming to me like asking for a gift from them. His mom never talks about any siblings, and my fiancé wasn't even aware he had more aunts when I talked to him about it. By the sounds of it his mom is not planning another shower (which is totally fine). If it was me planning, it I'd say whatever and invite them, but invites are already sent out as my family is big and we're almost at the max the room holds. What are your opinions/experiences with bridal showers?

    If your FI did not even know that these aunts even existed (how?!) then I'd say the hosts are off the hook to invite them.

    Agreed. No invitations deemed necessary.
