Question by sackley7388: SIL throwing me a disaster shower this Sat with help/lack of from my MIL don't kno how to handle. Kinda Long?
So basically this stems from over a year of "drama" largely created by my MIL but due to my SIL. My husband and I got married last spring, I very reluctantly had my SIL as a bridesmaid but was never mean ect. I certainly could have included her more in the process however everyone, including her and my MIL, knew she was in it because she wanted to be and my husband wanted his sister to be. She got no less say/input in dresses/wedding dets ect then any other of my bridesmaids ect. When the girls planned my shower my SIL (who is almost 30 and has now 2 kids) was included however literally didn't do any of the tasks for it that she was asked to do. At the last minute my MOH did it all and my MIL told her she'd give my MOH the $ for the stuff my SIL was supposed to do, but never did. And that was about $ 100. Later in spring me and the girl who had been my MOH did a "sprinkle" for my SIL basically becasue her and my MIL kept "hinting" to me about it. She mentioned how she had "nothing" for the baby (her second boy in 3 years) She bought a new swing, 2 bouncey seats, and diapers. But 3 weeks before she was due had NOTHING else aside from like 4 outfits. I felt bad for the baby so myself and my MOH threw a VERY small "sprinkle" for her. Just her fam and my fam and like 2 friends of mine who know her (she literally didn't have any "friends" for me to invite). Prob 11 people in all aside from myself. Fastforward to now and I am due with #2 in 3 weeks (actually scheduled repeat c-section). I had no expectations/need for another shower, however knowing that most of my friends were at college ect when I had my daughter, and being this was a boy; had a good incling they'd do something. Well beginning of Sept. they had casually mentioned it to each other about planning something for me, nothing set though. My SIL took it upon herself to call my MOH from my wedding and ask if her and my other girlfriends had anything planned. Being as they hadn't actually started planning anything yet, she said no. She didn't want to invite my SIL to help them after all the probs with my bridal shower, so she didn't say anything else to her. A week later my SIL called her to ask again and told my MOH for her and my other friends not to do anything because "she was since I threw her a second shower". My MOH not wanting to do 2 showers since it's a second baby and would be all the same guests, and not wanting to be involved with my MIL or SIL again (I DO NOT BLAME HER) dropped it and told my other girlfriends the same. My SIL at that time mentioned doing something for me to my mom. About 5 weeks later my mom still hadn't gotten an invite/heard anything else from her so she gave her a call. SIL told her she was going to mail invites ect but up until 2 weeks ago, again nothing else was mentioned. My mom was then approached by multiple family/friends that would be invited normally if she knew of anything going on; since they all knew it was about 6 weeks until I was due. My mom tried to get a story out of my SIL but basically she had at that point done nothing, not sent an invite ect. And to top it off made up some redic lies about my MIL only mailing invites to her fam ect. At that point my mom filled me in on everything because she wanted to know if I cared if she had something for my family/friends/ect, and let my MIL take care of her family. Well basically after my MIL was an *** to my mom as well as my SIL my mom decided that even though it might not be so great for me, she'd rather the family/friends see what a disaster my SIL and MIL were turning it into and to let them handle it all. My SIL finally sent out invites about 10 days before this shower, which is supposed to happen this Sat. My SIL's house literally can NOT hold the 15-20 people that will be there and even though my MIL lives on the same street and has a larger nice house won't have it there. On top of that all my SIL's kids are BOTH sick and she is NOT a clean person. I pride myself on having the type of home that although isn't spotless and germ/dirt free; I am NEVER worried about someone just "popping" in per say. Her's for most people would be the exact opposite, however she is the type of person that totally doesn't care. My MIL has taken a passive aggressive stance on it all. She has insisted to my husband when he's talked to her that my SIL is doing it, my friends didn't want to do anything for me, my mom refused to help ect. So that it left my poor SIL to do it all "alone". And tells him that she will clean her house and is paying for it all ect. But at the same time she isn't doing one thing to make it even remotely decent. She is taking a pork roast and slow cooking it and that is literally all the food, not even a chip, that they are "serving". And this is for a 1pm saturday shower, and they have known me for 7 years and know that I DO NOT EAT PORK! But since she has it that's what she is using. I litearlly refuse to go to my SIL's house because it's too cramped,
Sorry I didn't realize it got cut off... I refuse to go there because she doesn't clean and they have ALL been sick this last week. My 2.5 YO has had pneaumonia before so any small cold is harmful for her and I am not going without her. Also I am not going and getting sick. Basically I wanted to know how I can even attempt to be decent to my MIL/SIL knowing that my friends were going to do something nice for me, but didn't want to tell my SIL flat out she couldn't help so decided not to get invloved. And my spitful MIL is letting my SIL ruin this for me, when the shower I threw her was although small, very nice.
I CAN GAURANTEE THAT NOTHNG ELSE WILL BE SERVED AND IT WILL NOT BE CLEANED. MY SIL is oblivious to real life and my MIL is a bitch flat out. Her priority is her daughter and her daughters sons. She is only invloved because my SIl decided to do this and has no $ so she ahs to "pay" for anything needed, hence the pork that she already had. They aren't decent normal people.
And how can I be thankful knowing that I will never have another shower (or at least not very likely) and that my SIL has done nothing and my MIL has found it accetable to allow it? Knowing her house is decent/clean/and has much less germs. But refuses to have it there? And it's on the same street? I mean really. I can't be greatful/thankful. I can't even fake it. I'm NOT grateful or THANKFUL. Because had my SIL dropped it my mom was at least going to do something nice for me with my friends in a rush. But my SIL refused to drop it or let her help.
It's a freezer burned hunk of pork that my MIL got from her father (a meat ditrubutor) like 6 months ago. And BELIEVE ME they KNOW i DO NOT even touch it! I am not asking if I should be nice or not. I'm not going to be. I am totally done with them and my hubby supports that.

You literally refuse to go to your sister-in-laws house because it is too cramped? Honey, I think you are taking this too far. Yeah, your SIL sounds just as ridiculous and immature as mine but you need to show up with a smile and be thankful for whatever comes your way.
I can almost guarantee that her house will not be dirty for the shower and there will something else to eat besides a roast. It WILL be okay.

Bridal shower planning begins with bridal shower invitations. What better way to show the potential guests that you're taking the bridal shower seriously than to send out professional, albeit warm and personal, invitations? Usually, bridesmaids host the bridal shower because they're kind of on the wedding planning committee in general. Bridesmaids exercise a supportive role for the bride. They take the load off her shoulders, arrange certain aspects of the wedding, and relieve her with a wonderful bridal shower with all the fixings.
Bridal showers are the pre-wedding celebration that's exclusively for close female friends and relatives of the bride. Thus, invitations can be more feminine, use lighter colors, beautiful patterns, watercolor illustrations, perfume scents, ribbons, embossed gold text, and other things that women truly love. Women simply adore this kind of bridal shower invitation, and that's why these kinds of invitations are more feminine, in general, than birthday, Christmas, and Easter cards; they're all unisex in nature. Women can go online and customize the wording, background illustration, adornments, and accessories for their respective invitations. The orders are processed in bulk and mailed in next day delivery. Some bridal shower planners gloss over the fact that some people are plain forgetful, and even if it's a small party for a bridal shower, everyone needs an invitation just to keep the date in mind. Sometimes, an accessorized magnet is sent with the card so that refrigerator can proudly bear witness to the upcoming bridal shower.
There are only two things to remember when picking out bridal shower invitations. Number one is to not over-formalize and number two is to make sure everyone, including the bridesmaids themselves, get a card. They could use it for a keepsake, personal treasure, sentimental memory, special artifact, or event reminder. The last point is critical. Sometimes that 'life-of-the-party' person doesn't show up because their very nature makes them more spontaneous, forgetful, and out of sync with schedules, plans, and calendars. Don't let that happen. Make sure everyone gets bridal shower invitations.
The maid of honor is going to be responsible for the set-up and organization of the bridal party. Some couples decide that they want a couple-centric shower. This doesn't really make sense because the man should have his own celebration and the woman should have hers. Gender roles aside, people need camaraderie with their own gender before embarking on a lifelong union with the opposite sex. People need to have friends of the same sex, and bridal showers re-enforce that principle.

Question by Use another nickname: Gift for a personal shower?
My friend is getting married and I was invited to her "Personal Shower" and I'm wondering how this differs from a bridal shower? What kind of gifts are usually brought to this type of event? Kitchen items, lingerie? Please help! thanks

Answer by Lisa
I would ask whoever sent the invite what that means. I've never been invited to a "personal shower" so I really have no idea what that exactly means! Does sound almost dirty though, like sex toys and lingerie.

Question by vmbbfreak06: My sis & her fiance have both been married b4 & need help for planning a bridal shower appropriate for this.?
Since they've both been married before I'm not wanting to call it a shower (showering them with gifts isn't necessary). I do however, want to have my sister something. Maybe a gathering just like a "shower" but would be minus the gifts. I just need to know what to call it and exactly what I request the people to do? Do I specify this is not a "gift giving" ordeal? Thanks!
If all you are going to say is who cares, why answer at all.. stupid.
They have been together a while, are recently engaged, and the wedding is in October. A BBQ does sound like a good idea...
I love that... your presence is gift enough!
They each have children from a previous marriage and if it was something for "both" there 4 lovely children would probably be a must. They are a HUGE part of their lives.

Question by JJ'72: How many gifts do we buy for 1 wedding--engagement party,then bridal shower,then wedding-all invites had regis?
We got invite to engagement party w/ registry info-went and had gifts sent to adress, now have shower invite w/registry info -2 stores this time, and I assume when we get ceremony invite for Sept. that will also include registry info as well. Are we supposed to keep buying gifts for each invite? Are they all considered different,ie: "engage gift","shower" and "wedding gift"? I'm not familiar with the procedure but it's getting expensive. I thought the gift we gave originally was THE wedding gift as it was the " wedding registry" at Macy's. Please advise. I assume we just buy all three. Thanks for the help!
Best answer:
Answer by Nicole m
yep all three, my advice go get the gifts asap before the less expensive ones get bought up. buy 3 less expensive ones
