Bridal shower

Katherine, on September 20, 2021 at 10:44 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
Hello

So my future sister in law (not in the wedding) took it upon herself to throw a bridal shower she included my future step daughters who are in the wedding. But they didn't include my sister who is also in the wedding. I felt bad for my sister so I told her to have a shower for the friends/family that weren't going to be able to make it to the sister inlaws shower. I didn't want everyone to go to 2 showers so I didn't have her include the 2 step daughters who are now upset. They both work on Saturdays so I didn't want them to have to take time off. Looking back I should have told them. Looking for advice to make it up to them. Help

    Oh no! could you not just take them out for coffee/cake/icecream/whatever and explain what happened?

    I've tried to explain but they are still mad. One is 18 and at college and the other is 22 and works. They complained to my fiancé. He has also tried to tell them the samething I told them. 😞

    And if they bring it up again, apologize, echo what you’ve already told them and validate their feelings

    I agree with this, especially because they are grown. Tell them sorry and leave it at that.

    Agree, grown daughters can have a hard time with a new marriage, so sounds like you tried to do the right thing, but they are looking for a reason to be upset. Just let it go Smiley smile

    Thank you everyone for the advise I felt so much better after reading them. I sat with them and explained again and they seemed to be ok. I'm sure it will come up again when they don't get what they want. It will be ones of those things remember when you didn't invite us to the shower type thing. I'll have to try to laugh and let it roll off my back haha. Thanks again ladles
