speaking of my shower.. vent.
i'm so frustrated trying to cut this guest list. I really dont want to burden my sister... We were going to do the 2 seperate showers route but it ended up that there is just no time between peoples bdays, vacations, weddings, etc.
So i'm looking at my guest list trying to weed out certain friends.. i really only included my good friends and a few family friends and thats it... hopefully some of the out of staters cant make it!
My MIL is trying to add some random people... We had this problem for the wedding too. She insists on inviting her 2 CW's bc we didn't invite them to the wedding as well as DH's Great Aunt from his real fathers side bc she's a multimillionaire.
I tried to explain that my sister is throwing the shower and i'm starting to feel bad bc she's got 3 kids and a job she's on call for 365 days/ 24 hrs a day. Between money and time i just am really trying to keep at as simple as possible. it's bad enough there are 31 family members already invited (23 of which are her sisters, daughters, nieces..etc) I also tried to throw in the "i'm cutting my own friends list down bc i dont want 60 people at my babyshower.. its a pain to open gifts and it's boring for people" She responds with "Why would you do that? more presents for u!"
I feel like with every person i cut, she adds 2 more! These things are so complicated! I'm having wedding planning flashbacks!
Re: speaking of my shower.. vent.
I was just going to say this. But I have to add on karaoke and the beer chugging games. LOL
If I were you, I'd let your sister make the call on it. You shouldn't stress out about a party that is for you.
LOL, yeah, I pitched the drinking games and they were quickly rejected, lol. But yes, the unwrapped gift thing people LOVED and thought I was a genius
thanks for the ideas lady, and ur right Gerrie, i prob shouldn't stress about it but i'm a worrier by nature
I'll pitch the idea to my sis but i have a feeling she wants do to a more traditional thing since she missed out on planning my bridal shower. I'm definetely going to suggest the unwrapped gifts.. as sort of a "green" thing bc lord knows it took me FOREVER to unwrap all those bridal shower gifts
~~~MARRIED BIO~~~
ahaha dont remind me.. if it were up to my MIL... it would be a mini wedding but what i am thinking (yeah i've thought about it already!) immediate family only! too many aunts,uncles & cousins on sergs side of the family and if MIL wants to invite the world she can pay for it
