mil is throwing me a bridal shower!!!

Anna, on September 3, 2019 at 6:31 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 15

I mostly want to brag lol. I was not planning on doing anything. My wedding is less than 50 people, most likely will be 42 guest total. My fh and i are paying for everything. My mom will take over my wedding if i do, but his parents cannot afford to help. They will help, but his dad has so much health issues, and his medical bills are high. We don't want to burden them with paying for anything.

Well my Future MIL came to me and said she would love to throw me a small one with the girls i am inviting. I was taken aback. In a way I wanted to say no, i don't want to burden her. I do fell she wants to be included somehow. She wants to have it at Olive Garden, which i LOVE. But i just find it so sweet. I kinda wanted to cry. She never had any daughters so she has is so excited to finally have one. But just wanted to share.

    I hope so. I'm not really a fan of me being the center of attention, but i'm never going to get to do things like this so why not lol. Plus since my wedding is purely family, itll be nice for the in laws to get to know each other more.

    Awww, that's wonderful! Smiley heart Thank you for sharing!

    My FH and I are paying for everything ourselves, and both of our dads have had a lot of medical issues and bills as well. I'm not sure if I'll have a shower or not, since my parents could definitely not afford one. The only option would be if other family members or friends chipped in to help, but I'm obviously not expecting anything.

    I told my fh that I really dont want our parents to be in debt because of something we chose to do. But I wasnt expecting anything lol. I still feel bad but she does want to feel included. I'm probably just gonna invite a very small selection of women and have it during lunch time so she wont be spending a lot.
    I just think, it's hard having to pay for everything, but in the end I know our parents have done a lot for us. Hopefully someone will think that maybe they should do something for you. Even If it's small.
