My fiance's aunt wants to give me a shower. I have nothing personally against her. However, she just wants to invite her friends and she made me feel very uncomfortable at the last family event by calling me her "niece". I understand the sentiment,but we are not officially family yet. I don't want to appear like an ungrateful bride-to-be, "bridezilla", or something worse. However, I fear that I will just be on display and the event will be more about her showing off and less about me. What is the best way to tell her

It is very nice that she feels that you are family already. This is a positive. But, family shouldn't host the shower and her friends shouldn't be invited. It should only be those close to the couple. So, you have an out. You could inform her that you have been doing a lot of reading on what is considered proper etiquette for wedding planning and that it isn't proper for her to host this shower. You could add that it would just feel uncomfortable for you now that you know this. Plus, you wouldn't want for her to be embarrassed.
