We (several friends and I) have offered to have a post wedding shower for the bride of a young man who grew up in our church. When his mother, also a member of our church, was asked about this, she said she would like it to be a couples shower so that her son could be there.
What should we do about this?
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this.
Showers are in place these days mostly to allow guests who are close to the bridal couple to feel as part of the planning more so than to help them supply their household, which is usually no longer necessary. So, showers after the wedding aren't appropriate. Plus, only those very close to the couple are invited and the parents have nothing to do with the planning of this pre-wedding event.
I would call the mother and apologize that you cannot host. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
