Nervous about Bridal shower

I'm sure lots will show up!

My FMIL put on a shower for me before I left town to come back up to Canada. It was super sweet of her and fun but a little awkward. It was supposed to be a surprise but I kind of figured it out but didn't want to ruin it so I had to act surprised and pretend like I knew nothing. And then she bought me lingerie and told me that she hoped her son would like it - that was awkward! haha.

My mom and sister will put one on for me up here and I said NO SURPRISES! And don't buy me awkward pieces of lingerie haha.

Anyways, I'm sure you will have lots of fun, and you will have to come back on here to let us know how it went

I think everything will turn out fine just try not to stress too much.

I will for sure! My sister who is my MOH asked what kind of theme I wanted I told her a Luau! So i am excited...just stressing for no reason I'm sure. That was nice of ur FMIL but I would be embarrassed although wouldnt mind new lingerie LOL! My mom has been preparing a basket of stuff for us as a gift and wont tell me what's in it but told me to be prepared for a few gag gifts. yikes. LOL. She is sooo crazy!!!

I have the same irrational fear. My shower is 100% a suprise. I am supposed to know nothing but I am pretty sure I have figured out the date. My bridal party didn't even ask for a guest list, just imported my guest list and invited who ever they wish, which I am pretty sure is every woman on our list. I'm worried on both ends, that no one will show up and my bridal party will be out a ton of money, or everyone will show up and some people that I am not close to will make it awkward.

I have fears of other touchy circumstances about my shower too!! Our wedding is very small and out of town in September. My mother has taken charge of my bridal shower and though much of our family is NOT invited to the wedding, she is insisting that SHE's got every right to invite all of our extended family.... her arguement is that she goes to everyone elses showers/b-day parties/events and always gets nice gifts. Mine is that I think the family will give me a bad rep AND her say that we're greedy/selfish/rude..... but she insists. I think it's more so she can feel important- "mother of the bride." I'm her eldest child.... ugh. So I'm afraind that my family will show up and not realize that they haven't been invited to the wedding and it'll create awkwardness that way...

Alina, that was so sweet of your FMIL!

Elizabeth, I'm with you on the shower concern. Except mine has more to do with FH's family giving my darling MOH a hard time. FMIL has met my MOH twice at my youngest daughter's bday parties, and FMIL has made it pretty clear she does not like MOH. So if FMIL gives my MOH any grief, I am going to have to tear into FMIL because I love my MOH like a sister and nobody tears down my sissy.

I will add that my MOH asked me to create the guest list, for the shower & the bache party. I only added FH's family to minimize backlash drama. My MOH always keeps me in the loop. I adore her.

My shower is Sunday too. I don't know much about it but it seems a lot of people are not coming to the shower from the list I gave to MY FSIL who sent out the invites.

I would be more nervous if it was all a surprise! My MOH has rented a place out and went all out. I just found out today my Bach party will be a complete surprise! I am lucky in that all the family invited knows each other so that's a plus. But glad to see I'm not the only one with "shower anxiety" LOL

I also just sent my MOH the list for the shower. She has started to put together the invites and they will probably go out next week as the shower is schedule for in a month time. I'm sure a decent amount of people will come.

Don't worry about your shower. I'm sure it'll turn out great and you'll have such a fun time
