I am wondering do I pull the plug on the MOH gift? She had offered to do the shower for us. However we knew she could afford all.

I am wondering do I pull the plug on the MOH gift? She had offered to do the shower for us. However we knew she could afford all. So we paid for the main catering, all decorations, the gifts for prizes, the wine, the whole candy bar. What she did: made print outs , sent virtual invitations via text, purchased silverware, some odds and ends. So all that was left was food shopping like condiments, water , fruit. Maybe 100 dollars in food left. Behind my back she ask in laws family for money to help pay. Pretty much she didn't pay for anything now. Says its tradition for them to pay.

    I agree with the last part! If people started telling their bridesmaids they expected servants then we wouldn’t have these posts! However, this person is actually think of about not giving someone a thank you gift. So telling them to tell their bridesmaid to “pay up” is terrible

    It sounds like you've already made up your mind and you just wanted validation on your decision that you aren't really getting.

    So you're going to punish her by not giving her a gift? That's all kinds of wrong. No-one owes you anything.
