I am the maid of honor at my best friend's wedding coming up in 2.5 months. I have been working with the other bridesmaid (her sister) to organize a bridal shower which is in 3 weeks. I recently found out that due to unforseen circumstances the bridesmaid will not be able to attend the shower and since we booked a location for it, we are unable to change the date. Though, she has been nice enough to try and continue to help with preparations as much as possible.
At a recent gathering with some friends including the bride, the bride asked a mutual friend if she has been helping me with the shower preparations. The friend replied that she has not and the bride stated that she should not help me because I should be organizing it on my own. Does this sound unreasonable to anyone else?? I don't expect people to help me unless I am really in a bind and have no choice but to ask for help, I want this shower to go well for her.

Re: [kittiei] Help organizing the shower

Dear Kristi,
Perhaps the bride believes that only the bridesmaids should be involved in the shower. This is a common mistake. The friend definitely could assist you if both of you agreed.
