So get this... (family vent)
DH has 2 brothers (J & S)
"J" got engaged to "L" in November & is getting married this June. "L's" bridal shower is coming up in a couple weeks.
"S" got engaged to "R" two weeks ago. "R" & her mother planned an engagement party for the same night as "L's" bridal shower. Their wedding is not until sometime next year...
Bridal shower starts at 1:00. E-party starts at 5:00 (45 mins. away from shower)
DH & I feel very strongly that this is really unfair to "L" & "J" & don't really want to go to the e-party. It's caused all this family drama & no one's speaking to one another. This should be a happy occassion, but somehow it's turned into this big ordeal.
Uggghhhh.
Re: So get this... (family vent)
how rude! They couldn't put the engagement party off for a week?
The only way this would make any sense would be if there were a lot of OOT relatives or guests coming for the shower...then I could see booking the engagement party for the same night to save people a trip.
yeah.. that's not really the case. all the shower guests are local.
J&L live in NY and S&R live in MA. So only the couples are out of OOS.
That's really rude, not to mention poor planning...
If I were in your shoes, I'd probably go to both. Just to keep the peace.

"S" says that it's the only weekend that "R" has free.
ummm.... for the entire year?!?!! there's no rule that says e-parties have to happen in the same month as the actual engagement!
I'm glad to know that I'm not just over-reacting by thinking this is really rude.
"J" was sweet enough to double check with my DH that it wouldn't be stealing our thunder when he got engaged 2 months after our wedding. Of course we were more than thrilled for them & really touched that he had considered our feelings.
"S" checked with "J" that it'd be ok that they got engaged 2 months before his & "L's" wedding, but never bothered to mention an e-party the night of "L's" shower....
I love both of my FSIL's dearly. They're both sweethearts. But this is going to seriously going to leave a mark.
Yeah, that's completey rude. Why can't they wait until the summer or something??? We recently had an engagement party to attend for a couple who got engaged like LAST SUMMER. (Their wedding is in October.)
