Hello!
First of all, I’m not the bride, I am the grooms Mom, but I have a question about the Bridal shower.
I was going to do a separate shower with my friends/family, but the wedding got moved up from December to July with not a lot of time left.
Her Mom/Sister are hosting the shower, she said her shower will have 30 people and I asked if I could invite a few people Maybe 10-14 of my family/friends. I told her since there is not a lot of time left, I probably wouldn’t have a huge turnout and if she invited a few people on my side I would help pay for the shower.
Suffice it to say that did not go over well at all. She told me this is HER Bridal shower, And Bridal showers are for the Bride and the bride’s family and she didn’t want people she didn’t know. It would be uncomfortable but I could feel free to do my Own. But if she is uncomfortable with these people at hers wouldn't a separate one with just the grooms family be just as uncomfortable?
I’m from a Big close family and I was sort of taken aback. I would never have dreamed of leaving my husband’s family out of my shower.
Just need honest opinions if I’m over reacting.
