3 Showers...WTF!!??

[michelle08]

Thanks everyone!!!! I am going to visit my mom this weekend and talk to her about it....

 

I like the idea of the mothers getting together and throwing one...but then their tastes are so different and FMIL is so overpowering and my mom is so laid back and let's people walk all over her...so I'm not sure how that would work...

 

I also like the idea of giving all the phone numbers and telling them all to figure it out w/ each other!

 

As far as bridesmaids, it's my sister only and she would just help my mom with the one she throws if that happens.

 

I just want to talk to my mom in person and see who she plans on inviting and tell her that the friends will be going to the one my friends are throwing and if there is enough people then we can have 2 but otherwise maybe she can just help the girls with ideas, or money, whatever....

 

We will see...

OMG, that's crazy? Would they consider combining into one??

LOL.

 

I TOTALLY know what you mean!

 

We are having a Couples Shower (thrown by Best Man & his wife) ... then my sister is throwing one up in DC for my older relatives and the few friends I have up that way ... and I have 2 friends who were planning one for here in SC.

 

The two friends wanted to do separate showers even though I told them I really didn't need anything else ... and I finally just had to tell them they rally needed to do them together as one ... b/c like you, I couldn't expect my friends to go to all these separate showers -- and quite frankly I don't have the friggin' time on weekends for all this crap.

 

I would see if something can be combined to take some of the stress off of you.

 

Perhaps the families can throw a Couples Shower, or the Stock the Bar Shower, so that it's about the two of you and not just you.

 

My brother has a Lawn & Garden Couples Shower when they got married and it was awesome.
