My fiance and I had originally planned to have a larger wedding, but the stress and financial burden have caused us to decide to elope. A friend of the family had planned a bridal shower, and my future mother-in-law seems to think it is fine to continue on with the shower as planned. I am not sure this is proper as none of the guests will be invited to an actual ceremony, but I also am not sure how to "uninvite" people to the shower (especially since I had not been informed of it until we announced our plan to elope). What should we do?
You're right, it would be improper to host a shower under these circumstances. Please have the host call the guests to let them know that the shower has been canceled since the bride and groom chose to elope. You should not have anything to do with the shower planning, hosting or inviting so it's really an issue for the host.
