On Christmas, my FMIL told me and my fiancé that she and her friend wanted to plan our Bridal shower. I was a bit confused at first because my mom already said she wanted to plan it. I asked if I could give her my mom’s number so they could all discuss it together. She originally said that was fine.
However, a few days later she changed her mind and said that she was only going to plan a bridal shower for my fiancé’s side of the family.
When we asked why my family wouldn’t be invited, she said that we could just have two separate showers. We told her we just want to have one, which made my FMIL upset. She was trying to tell us that it’s tradition to have separate showers.
Is that true? I feel very confused because I’ve only been to bridal showers where both families were invited. If you have had multiple showers, what was it like?
