First of all, I don't want to sound ungrateful or snotty. I'm very thankful that I have friends/family that care enough to plan a shower for me.
That being said, here's the rub: I told my MOH that I didn't really want a shower. FH and I have lived together for a year now and we have everything that we need. She, however, wanted to do one so she's doing it anyways. Fine, no big deal. A month after we got engaged, she wanted a guest list. I hadn't even started working on the guest list for the wedding itself at that point. Flash forward, she sent out invitations 8 months in advance of the shower date. She's having the shower at my mother's house and didn't communicate with her that the invites were going out (my mom would've told her it was better to wait until muuuuch closer to the date). She listed my mom's address and our wedding website (for the registry) incorrectly. Again, I can kind of push all that aside because my mom is personally calling everyone closer to the shower (like next week as the shower is at the end of the month) and checking in to make sure they haven't forgotten and to make sure they have all the info.
Now we're steadily approaching and I have no info. I just found out that she's basically planning a whole weekend of events, and now I have to find a place to board my dog as FH will be out of town that weekend. MOH recently contacted me and asked why I invited certain guests because they're pregnant and they're due that week -- I got a little irritated at that point because she asked for a guest list last August and ya know...they weren't pregnant then.
OH! And my mom knew she was hosting the shower and decided she was going to have a construction crew start a full kitchen remodel in July -_- So. They're going to be pushing it to get done before the date of my shower.
Just in general I feel like I'm out of the loop and details are being missed and I'm nervous that no one is going to remember or show up. I didn't really want a shower and I just feel a little stressed at this point. Just needed to rant. I realize that these are not huge problems and that I'm genuinely lucky to have caring friends and family.
