I am a groom getting married in September and have a question about who needs to attend the showers. My fiance's sister and cousin (both in wedding party) are planning a shower, but they live about 3 hours away. However, my sister (also in wedding party) is planning a shower for her closer to my side of the family.
The wedding planning has been unpleasant and frustrating due to my soon-to-be mother in law's attitude. Because of this my parents have decided they would rather not meet her before the rehersal dinner (her parents are divorced).
Does my mother have to attend both showers or is she safe with attending the one for my side of the family. And is my sister required to invite her mother? It is all really confusing, but I would rather not "throw my mother to the wolves" by having to meet her for the first time without myself or my father with her. Thanks!!!
Yes, mothers are invited to all (no more than 2) showers. So, both mothers would be invited to both showers. Your sister doesn't need to host a shower. So, that would eliminate one of her worries. In fact, the shower, itself, is optional.
Throwing her to the wolves? That isn't a good sign. Your fiance and the hosts would be there and should make sure everyone behaves.
Who has to go?
