No input on bridal shower?

No input (except date and guest list) unless asked. My bridesmaids asked if I had any special requests for my bachelorette and I told them I wanted to drink and dance. That was all the input.

Well, it depends on the situation. My MOH had no clue where to begin so I just gave her some pointers lol

@GymRat oh no hun I eat eeevvverything lol..

FYI my MOH is my oldest daughter & said she want it to be a Tea party shower .. & she said while I'm on Pinterest ,get some ideas .. So I didn't know if I could give input or not

@Emily S. That's not why I asked (to be a meddling bride). I just wanted to know incase she asked because I didn't know if I could give any input @ all.

@Long Island Bride that's kinda where I'm @! She don't know to begin because she's never thrown a party of any kind lol.

Yes absolutely you can give the girls suggestions on what you'd like but you just get to show up and have fun!

I'm throwing one for my sister and I am running all of my ideas by her because ultimately it is her shower and reflects her so I want it to be exactly what she wants with a few added surprises of course

My mom is hosting my bridal shower, but since she doesn't know most of my friends or anything in the area (she lives out of state) she asked for my suggestions about location, food, and guests. However if she hadn't asked for my input I wouldn't have given it!

I haven't given any input other than the date and guest list. I'm looking forward to seeing what my sister came up with

I think you let the host be the host, and don't worry about what they're doing. It's super sweet that someone even wants to plan a shower for you, so let her (them) do their thing.

My shower hostesses asked me a few times what I wanted; I finally got it through to them that all I "want" is to invite the people I care about to a shower they're graciously throwing...and they can do whatever they want. I gave them the guest list, and that was that.

They could have PB&J there (they won't, but making a point), and I sincerely wouldn't care. I'm just excited I have people who want to celebrate this time with us.

Agree with the PP to give input when asked!

Control Freak here, I picked the place and the food. Everything else was a surprise.

My MOH asked my opinion on venue and the 3 menu choices. (They have 3 different general menus, and then you pick options from one of the 3 to make your actual menu...so I told her which overall menu I liked better, but don't know what is actually being served)

She has told me many times that if there's anything specific I want/don't want to let her know. But I only know when,where and who was invited!

The only input I had with mine was the date. My aunt is throwing a couples shower for us and I am completely satisfied to let her handle all the details. If I were you I would let the hosts handle all parts of planning. You don't need to add anything else to your plate.

My Maid and Matron of Honor live about 1500 miles away but both of them along with my Mom have asked me for multiple opinions on things. Granted, leading up to being engaged, I have made my opinions on certain parts of showers I've attended very clear but the specifics of most of it I'm leaving completely up to them unless otherwise asked.

My hosts asked for a guest list, what kind of food I want, and what music I like. The shower is themed the same as the wedding.

@AshD lol

So I won't give any input unless I'm asked heheee

My family didn't want to do anything without my input. That's just how they are. They've asked me about food, drinks, who should be invited and if I want games. It was the same with my engagement party. Technically my mom hosted it but she had me pick out food, decor, send invites, order the cake. She just wanted to pay. I don't see it as a big deal.
