Is it rude to NOT let someone throw you a shower?

I was thinking about this the other day. My Mom/sister(MOH) are throwing me a bridal shower. My step Mom is throwing us a Bridal Shower/Stock the Bar Party. Monday, my FMIL asks if her church can throw me ANOTHER bridal shower. Dude, what? LOL. I was okay with 2 now I just think 3 is really TOO...

Of course, I let it ride because I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings. So, I am ultimately having 3 Bridal Showers. I'd be telling LIES if I didn't admit that my first internal reaction was, "No, please don't! I don't want/need a third one." LOL.

So I ask, is it rude to NOT let someone throw you a shower or any type of pre-wedding event in general?

I'm in a similar situation. My mom and FMIL are throwing me a shower. We invited everyone who is invited to the wedding that would normally be invited. Now my aunts keep saying they are going to throw me a shower, and aren't really taking no for an answer. But there isn't anyone left to invite to a second shower! And I am not comfortable inviting people to a shower who aren't invited to the wedding. It's very nice of them, but not necessary.

I'm going to be honest and say I do think its a little rude. Like you said, a lot of your future husbands family won't make it to the other shower, so unless you can change the date of the shower your mom is throwing I think you should just let her do it, you are becoming part of his family after all.
