Bridal Shower too large, and Bridal Party seems unwilling to pay!!
Help! I am the MOH for a friend's wedding in November, and despite me trying to explain to her that it is improper to have such a large shower, she is still insisting on inviting 75 people! I even talked to her Mother, who also wants to have this HUGE shower! Basically, they don't agree that it is improper, and nothing I say or nothing they read is going to change their mind. Her Mother did offer to help pay for a portion of it though, given that it is such a large shower.
However, she did only pay for a slight portion of it, and the rest of the bridesmaids have not responded to ANY of my emails asking for monetary help. There is not a chance on this earth that I'm going to be able to afford to pay for this thing if I don't the help of all the other bridesmaids. How do I say this without being rude, and what if they refuse to pay?

Dear Rogercat,
You are not obligated to host this. You know it is improper and don't want to host it, so don't. It is as easy as saying that you won't host something you know is improper and can't afford.
