My daughter is getting married 7-7-7. Her MOH has informed me that she's hosting a bridal shower for her on 6-30-07 at the MOG's house since she lives in a small condo. The MOH's husband, the Best Man, have been family friends of the groom for many many years and they feel like members of the family. Is this proper to have it hosted at Groom's mother's house?

No, family member's really shouldn't host the shower or have it hosted at their home. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I didn't think so. How do I tell them not to do it? The MOG is already making plans.

What if you were to show the MOH an etiquette book and explained to her that she may embarrass herself or the mother? Only you know the personalities of the players involved and just what they may be open to receiving though.

I can try that, however, the MOH has been friendly with the MOG for many many years because her husband and my daughter's fiance grew up together.

Well, I'm sure neither of them want to embarass the bride. If you explain it to them in that regard maybe they will get it. But, if not, try not to let it bother you too much and maybe no one will notice or care. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

Yes, it might be one of those little things that is best left alone. I understand that there is no "perfect" wedding. This might be the blight!!
