Because my FH did not want to choose between his friends for a best man, I have decided not to choose a maid of honor. However, now there's no "traditional" person to initiate planning for things like a bridal shower. Friends and relatives have started to ask me if I'm having a bridal shower (our wedding is in October), and I'm not sure how to respond. Nothing has been planned and none of the bridal party members have asked me about it. Is there a polite way to get the ball rolling without seeming gift grabby? (To further complicate, I have a step-mother with a dominant personality and a mother who is passive that I don't want to get lost in the shuffle). Thank you!
