Its wedding season in FH family LOL. There are four of us now planning a wedding with the same family, so its great but also not so great at times (see my yesterdays post ) But two of the upcoming weddings are My FH Cousins wedding (lets call them Amber and Justin) & FH Aunt (Justin's MOM...

Its wedding season in FH family LOL. There are four of us now planning a wedding with the same family, so its great but also not so great at times (see my yesterdays post Smiley xd )

But two of the upcoming weddings are My FH Cousins wedding (lets call them Amber and Justin) & FH Aunt (Justin's MOM ((lets call her Crazy Pants))

So 11 months ago Amber and Justin set their date for August 17th and everyone was so excited for them! THEN Crazy Pants - Justin's mom- has the AUDACITY to set her date for the WEEK BEFORE on August 10th... Everyone played along like it was no big deal and planning has been going fine. Fast forward to now and Crazy Pants sends out her invitation (Justin and Amber have not yet) Not only did Crazy Pants choose the same location for her wedding she also stole the color that Amber chose! Like WTF lady!!

Now as you can imagine Amber is not so fond of her FMIL (who can blame her) I get calls and texts from Amber like everyday of something new her crazy FMIL has done and I wish I could help her..

The other day my FMIL (Crazy's SIL and Justin's Aunt) says to me that she wants to plan a bridal shower for BOTH Crazy Pants and Amber - at the same time!! (I guess in FH's family its tradition for the aunts/sisters to throw the bridal parties) Not wanting to hurt FMILs feelings I polity said that probably wouldn't be a good idea because of all that is going on between them. She proceeded to say "oh, they can just get over it!"

Now I'm stuck between telling Amber what they have planned or leaving it be. What would you do?? If I tell her she can maybe tell my FMIL that she would prefer not to have one but I also don't want to stress her out anymore.


(I hope you were able to follow along and my rambling wasn't too confusing Smiley xd )

    I would tell amber! Imagine how upsetting it would be to show up to “your” bridal shower and it was conjoined. Wow this is definitely an odd situation. good luck either way 😂.

    OMG hahah. This is a lot. There are 3 of us planning weddings right now, me and FH 2 girl cousins (1 of which is my bridesmaid) and I totally understand how nuts it can be. The one who is my bridesmaid got engaged a year after I did and she picked 3 weeks after my wedding for her wedding (which doesn't really bother me but it's interesting since we are now each other's bridesmaids!) and the other cousin is like 20 years old and I keep hearing rumors that other family members think my wedding (and now her sister's wedding) were basically holding up her wedding. (I personally don't think she'd actually say this, shes super nice. But older family members are lIke WELL the other one can't wait to get married and you guys are having the longest engagement ever!).

    So anyway after my rambling on, YES I'd tell her about the aunt planning the joint shower. I'd be pissed if I showed up and my crazy MIL was getting a shower on the same day as me.
