Since everyones board I'll tell a story ![]()
I'm in my brothers wedding in May, yes the one with the ugly bridesmaid dress
Well the shower is March 21st and nobody has recieved invites yet...there are 8 girls in the wedding, 3 of which are me, my little sister and my cousin. We have yet to hear ANYTHING from the MOH....I was told I couldn't text her b/c of her work schedule so I emailed her over a week ago and heard nothing. I texted a friend of the bride who told me that she new nothing...and that she would contact the MOH. I then get a text from the MOH (sister of bride) saying that the invites were sent out today and if I have questions about the shower to ask her, not anyone else!!! I responded back saying that I emailed her over a week ago and didn't hear back and she responded saying "now you know" well I'm pissed that she's acting like such a B*tch....and making it like I'm bothering her....we don't know a thing...not the time it starts, not what we are doing for a gift...NOTHING!!! I then asked her about the gift b/c nothing was mentioned and she said that we r just gonna do our own gifts ...which is weird b/c the bride registered for some big ticket items that we could all chip in and get b/w the 8 of us.
I get people are busy but we are hosting this thing too and she is leaving us in the blue about every little detail. We were each told to do something and that's it and b/c we are on the Grooms side we aren't being told a thing. Is it me or is this ignorant!! Is it that hard to send out an email or text to all the BM's saying this is what we are doing, this is the time, this is what we are doing for a gift and favor. When I planned my cousins every girl knew everything along with both Mom's. The thing is less then 4 weeks away and invites were just sent out and nobody has a clue as to what's going on
Ok, vent over!!!!
Re: Bridal shower vent!!
Just roll with the punches. If there is nothing you can do about it then try not to stress.
Weddings change people. It's a simple fact that I learned from my wedding. The bride will find everything out in the long run. Just don't stress yourself out about it. Maybe you, your cousin, and your sister can chip in to get a gift from the three of you?
its annoying that you don't know what time it starts but honestly, I would take this opportunity to just relax and enjoy it. Don't be the "annoying SIL" that everyone talks about at the wedding events. ?She is rude for not getting back to you, of course, but really....let her hang herself.?
I can't wait until my bro gets married so I can just hand over a check and not get stressed or cause problems like my SIL did.?
I'm definetly trying to not be the "annoying SIL" and I was very happy to hand over the responsability after planning my cousins shower a few months back. It's just annoying that we know nothing about it and she refuses to tell us unless we ask....my sister, cousin and I did decided to just go in for our own gift. I'm just not use to her personality....I'm overally nice to everyone and I threw myself out there and told her if she needs any help I'd be happy to do it and she doesn't even have the class to let me know when it's taking place. I know planning a shower sucks, I've been there but I'm offering my help
Ugghh!!! At this point I've decided that I'm just gonna show up with my gift and leave it all on her sister. I knew her sister wasn't the friendliest person in the world but she confirmed it
