Bridal shower worries

Sherry, on July 5, 2019 at 2:45 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

So my MOH is my cousin. We are closer than I am with any of my siblings. We are 11 days apart and have been inseparable our entire lives. Her wedding was 3 weeks ago, her shower was 2 weeks before that. She lives in Florida, I am in Georgia. I made the trip down for both, put myself up in hotels, paid for everything, re arranged all my plans so that I could arrive days early so that she would not have to worry about anything being done, made sure she didn't have to lift a finger for anything! I had no intention of having any type of showers, bach parties etc but she insisted on throwing us a shower. Fine! The shower is next weekend and literally nothing has been planned other than all of the things she has asked me to do for it. I don't mind as I am definitely more creative and crafty as she is but she is only planning on coming up from Florida the night before and staying with her dad which is almost 2 hours away from the venue and she wont be getting any of the food or decorations until the morning of. She isn't planning on heading this way until 9 am. We get the venue at noon to start setting up and the shower starts at 1. There is absolutely no way she will be at the venue with everything in hand by 12 and even by 1 will be pushing it. This is exactly why I didn't want a shower or any help planning the wedding. No one is as excited about these things like I am and I get that.

I am prepared to have no decorations and to order pizza once people start arriving. I am really trying not to stress or be grouchy so I am letting her handle it like she keeps telling me but I am very worried that all of these people will be walking into an empty venue with no food! Jesus take the wheel!

    Haha Jesus take the wheel indeed! It will be nice to get people together to celebrate you regardless if any of the food, decor or anything else gets done. If it's not something you felt you needed in the first place, anything at this point is just a bonus!

    Is there anyone else you could ask to help you plan/set up? Additionally, have you tried talking with her about how she plans to care of things logistically?

    Otherwise, I'm sorry that this seems to only be adding stress to what should be a fun event. Hopefully everyone attending is close to you and will just be happy to be there and see you!

    Yes that is true. It's just a bummer and I feel bad and I will be humiliated if it comes to that when everyone knows how much I put in to doing so much for her. Putting my wedding planning aside to make sure nothing interfered with planning for hers.

    I have tried talking to her and she gets all pissed off and says I need to stop worrying about it, she has it handled. I suggested she ask my sister to help her since my sister is local and close to me but she said no. She obviously doesn't have it handled or I wouldn't be worried lol. This is the first time a lot of our families will be meeting before the wedding so it is kind of a big deal for FH and I. I can see why she would see it as just another party but it still bothers me.

    That sounds so frustrating! Perhaps your sister or another family member could talk to her to either talk some sense into her or see if she has some big master plan that hasn't been carried out yet.

    It is and it shouldn't be. I have suggested she ask my sister to help her and she said no. People keep asking me if they need to do anything and I am like, well I don't know ask her if she needs help lol
