I think I posted about this a year or so ago. One of my SIL's son is getting married the last weekend in May so I received an invitation to the bridal shower for April 1st. As this SIL usually does on the line where is says "given by" it says
AUNTS!!!!
Hello...........thanks for telling me!!!
This is her last son (she had 5) and she does this for all bridal and baby showers. These showers are hugh affairs with 30-40 people in attendance not counting the bridesmaids and the bride. She always wants us to bring a dish to pass and the first time I attended one at the end ofthe shower she told us how much we "owed" her!!! Even though I have no input on the food served, guests invited, location etc....
And I haven't ever been formally introduced to the bride to be-she wouldn't just come up and start talking to me as I'm sure she knows I'm some time of relative to her fiancee.
As it is the locations are usually a good hour from my house.
If you cannot afford to have a shower with so many people cut down the number of people who are invited!!!
This drives me nuts!!! I'll bring a bag of M&M's as my dish to pass.
Anyone else have shower horror stories??
