Bridal Shower Etiquette

Hey girls, So I know it is totally normal to have a bridal shower with you FMIL and Mom and stuff there, but I REALLY REALLY do not feel comfortable with the idea of having my FMIL there. She wants to go and be crazy and all that but the entire time I am going to be thinking about how she is looking at the lingerie that I'll be wearing in front of her son... A total turn off. If she comments on how sexy it is or how Jordyn (fiance) will love the lingerie I will probably never wear it if front of him. I know this is weird but I cannot change how I feel about that. Not to mention she said HER mom would be sad if she wasn't invited.. I hadn't even thought to invite her. IMO grandparents and lingerie should be separate COMPLETELY.

SO I am thinking that I want to have 2 bridal showers. I would totally feel more comfortable having one with parents, grandparents, sisters, etc. at one and all my girlfriends at another. Is that ok?

The showers I've been to have mostly all be lingerie parties (moms and grandmas included)- to the point that sometimes the MOH even includes the bride's bra size on the invite! But like other posters said, I think if you just have your MOH/BMs spread the news that it's not a lingerie party, you'll be fine. It sounds like your FMIL would be really hurt if she weren't invited.

Just ask your friends to give you their gifts at a different time. And maybe ask them to spread the word to your other friends just in case. They'll understand.
