What is it with people? This is the email I (and the rest of the bridal party) got yesterday from some girl I never met who is planning this shower on a date she knows (via bride) that I cannot attend. Am I overreacting for thinking this is rude?
**************************
My name is xxxxxx I am helping plan xxxxxxx Bridal shower. Please save the date. Formal invitations to follow this week.
Friend A, B, and I have taken care of all the arrangements and Mrs. MIL has graciously offered to handle the food and drink for the shower.
We were hoping that the bridal party could help contribute to the cost of the event for invitations, decorations, favors and dessert.
We were able to put everything on fairly cost effectively and only need $30.00 per person.
Please let me know if you are able to contribute via check sent to the address below and if you plan to attend or would prefer to pay in person.
Thank you very much and I look forward to seeing you at the shower.
Please feel free to call or email me with any questions.
Re: s/o wedding related craziness
tell me more about why you're upset...is it that you're being asked to write a check rather than actually have a hand in planning. If so, you can suggest that? But some people think that this way is easier and prefer it.
Maybe it's not intentionally rude, but it's definitely thoughtless. I wouldn't plan a shower on behalf of someone and bill them for it if 1. I had never met them 2. I hadn't discussed it with them prior and/or 3. They couldn't even attend.
