Just Said Yes September 2022

Probably no bridal shower

I am getting married September 4, 2022 and have been planning my wedding over the past year. My sister told me last week that she is pregnant and getting married two weeks before. Since she is my maid of honor she told me she’d throw me a bridal shower but I don’t think she’ll be up to the task because she’ll be 20 weeks or so pregnant by then (plus she’s always tired now). Given that, I doubt I’ll have a bridal shower, which disappoints me because I was looking forward to it. She is not the type to ask the other bridesmaids to do it or ask someone else for help. I’m just disappointed.

    Don’t be disappointed Michelle. Maybe you can talk to her and see if she’s willing to work something out with the bridesmaids for them to host one for you in case she isn’t able to. She hasn’t told you she wouldn’t be able to do it, I’d give her the benefit of the doubt. You never know, at 20 weeks she might be moving around more than she is now. Try to stay positive and know that everything will work out.

    Hi Michelle dont be sad the first trimester can be a rough start. And speak to her ask just ask her to let some people to help with the plans if she becomes not feeling well. So dont be disappointed yet you still have time ok .

    I think asking her if she'd like some help delegating responsibilities would be a good move. I'd express that you're really excited for her and don't want to put too much on her plate, so you'd be happy to get others involved to make it easier on her. Showers don't have to be SUPER extravagant and over-the-top to be fun, and having multiple people working on different things can make it a lot easier to pull off.

    Hi there, congrats on your approaching wedding and on a new addition to the family. What an exciting time! As far as the bridal shower goes I d talk to her about it, since she's getting married too maybe a joint one would be a fun option. Always communicate though and if you she can no longer do it for you maybe another family member or bridal party member can. Good luck!

    The beginning of pregnancies are usually very exhausting but it is not necessarily a permanent feature of pregnancy and many times subsides. I would say give her a chance and if it seems like a difficult pregnancy then maybe step in and say something about the possibility of handing someone else some of her responsibilities.

    I would ask her if she still wants to put on the shower for you. In my experience, I got married 2 years ago and my sister who lives in South Carolina and I'm in Cali was planning my shower and with covid she decided not to come out. I understand but then no one else thought to plan anything for me. Even if it was something small like a lunch. So in the end I didn't have one and am still a little disappointed 2 years later. Hopefully someone will pull through for you.
