Hi,I was wondering if it's ever okay to decline a shower? My future mother-in-law offered to throw me a shower months ago for her side of the family. It was never really mentioned again, so when it came time for the shower on my side, we decided to invite my future MIL and a few of his other family members so they weren't excluded. But it was a fairly small shower considering I have a very large family, so we didn't invite all of his relatives. Now, it's 5 weeks before the wedding and his side is offering to throw me a last minute shower. I feel like there's really no time for this and it's a little redundant because some of his family was already at my first shower. Is it okay to say no? And how do I say that? I really do feel crunched for time at this point. Thank you for your response.
Since family shouldn't host showers unless they are members of the bridal party you can use that as an excuse. But, if you just don't want a shower state the reasons and you can politely decline.
It is refreshing to hear from a bride who isn't all about the gifts. Thank you. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
