My mom and MOH will be planning my wedding shower. My mother suggested having it in my hometown where I am from because the majority of people who will go, live here. This is only my side of the family however and my fiance wants it to be closer so that his side has the oppurtunity to go. He doesn't want my mom to decide where the shower will be, anything else he doesn't care, and he knows it's not his decision, but he wants his family to be able to come. My hometown is roughly 4-5 hours away for his family, however, there's only about 10-15 of his members who'd possibly come. On my side, a lot of women would love to come, bordering on the number 40 or more... to make them travel 4-5 hours makes less sense than for his side to travel.
What should I do? I know this isn't up to me, and it's up to my MOH and mom.. He isn't entirely informed on proper etiquette for this stuff but doesn't seem to want to listen to my any attempts to inform him that this isn't up to us..
I will be talking to his mom to get her opinion.. My mom also mentionned having 2 parties but he doesn't want that because he wants both families to meet. Fair enough, but the headache it could potentially cause is driving me nuts already... He doesn't understand though. I understand all his reasoning and such but it's like I'm stuck and don't know what to do or say to anyone in regards to this. I don't want to offend anybody!!
