Name tags at my bridal luncheon

#firstworldproblems

The (awesome) woman planning my bridal luncheon would like everyone to wear name tags at the luncheon and stand up and introduce themselves. I can't say no because she is so sweet and excited and going way out of her way for me, I just feel dumb and embarrassed for everyone having to feel like they're in first grade.

Definitely NOT ungrateful, just meh

    "put their first name and relationship on the name tags – such as Sue – Mother of the Groom. Nadine – Family friend of the groom. Let me know what you think."

    Lol you nailed that one RIGHT on the head!

    We ended up with name tags at my shower as well. Nobody thought it was weird or anything. I ended up buying some cute "hi my name is..." in adorable pink from ebay beforehand so everyone thought I just did it so we could match the theme of my shower.

    Maybe you could possibly find some that match your theme that way no one would think anything of it. Maybe make some cute heart cutouts or something to pin on.

    Andrea - I'm sure you bridal shower will be fun and the reason people are coming is because they love you. I just mean certain aspects that typically come with a shower is just ... nails on chalkboard....

    OTW I totally agree. I've never even met the woman planning it, she just loves FHs mom so much that she wanted to do something nice. I am just blown away by her kindness. I think everyone will be ok, hey--there'll be champagne so I'm POSITIVE they'll be ok lol

    That's the WORST! My friends mother did that at her baby shower. Me and baby daddy tried to hide from her when she was going around with the name tags and the sharpie. My sympathies
