I'm a matron of honor in a wedding, and I was planning the bridal shower and bachelorette party?
I'm a Matron of honor in a wedding. The maid of honor and I was planning the bridal shower and bachelorette party. Our plans were to have the all five us matron, maid and 3 bridemaids pitch in financially to make this a wonderful event. Is this a bad plan or is the matron and maid responsible financially for the bash?I have been in 3 weddings and with all 3 everyone in the bridal party pitched in. Noone was left with all of the responsibility because we all wanted to bride to have a nice party. We all pitched in and helped. I'm also married and my bridal party did the same for me no certain person was left planning and paying. I just feel like everyone pitching in is alot stressful both planning and financially, and even though I'm the matron of honor the maid and bridemaids are the bride's sisters and they are the ones not willing to pitch in and make this a great event. I myself isn't financially able to pay for the entire bash so I really don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do for the bride and not cost a great deal?

Wedding Shower planning dilemma - nontraditional bride vs. traditional mom?
Hi I'm a maid of honor in a wedding and I have a little bit of a planning dilemma with regards to the wedding shower. The bride, who is my best friend, wanted a non traditional, no cheesy games and retarded gift ribbon hat shower she really wanted a luau and to hire a belly dancer to give everyone a belly dancing lesson and have fun with it. Plus her big thng is NOT to have it on the traditional Sunday afternoon, as she finds that depressing. The rest of the bridal party consists of her sister, and her 3 nieces who are young teenagers , so the mother will be paying for the bulk of the shower. However, her mom is very sweet and traditional, likes to please people, and has a lot of friends who are " the country club variety" . So when I brought up the bride's desires... she was shocked she's like my friends won't do belly dance and she wanted to have it at the country club which my friend hates , or a restaurant, and you can't really do something like that in a restaurant and, she's like showers are always on Sundays.... and her sister, who is the matron of honor, was like " oh i was looking forward to making a gift ribbon hat for my sister..." So... my dilemma is to think of ideas so that her mom is pleased as she is kicking in most of the money, and besides that she is a great person and I would never want to step on her toes , and my friend has a memorable shower that is different and not the traditional wedding shower sap cuz that's totally NOT my friend Any ideas? besides multiple showers, cuz we'll probably end up doing that so my friend can have her luau . I was gonna bring up the idea of having the mom's shower at a spa, cuz I know my friend would be into that. But in case that doesn't fly, other ideas would be awesome By the way, my friend is BY NO MEANS an ungrateful b$ % ... she's almost 40, and has waited forever to get married. She's not set on the belly dancer, she just thought of it to be something fun and different b c, being almost 40, she's sat through everyone elses BORING shower which is not a few minutes, but often 3 hours So, she just wanted something different and fun that would be memorable. I'm trying to marry her wishes with her mom's desire to please her friends and family. They are all really nice, and my friend would be grateful for anything but I've been friends with her for like 15 20 years, and I'd love to see her have a nice memorable shower that makes MOST people happy 1 more note then I'll shut up My friend knows she needs to respect her mother's wishes in regards to the shower, but since I'm helping her mom organize, as well as putting money in, I figured I could help her mom make it a party that will be fun for both the " traditional" and non traditional guests. So I'm basically looking for ideas, not a debate on who has a right to request things, etc... they are very good people who are not gift grabbers my friend always says they really don't need anything cuz they are older and already have a house, 2 sets of dishes, etc.... so of course my friend would respect her mother's wishes But I'm also trying to integrate my friend's fun, free spirited personality into the shower...and she's not a " bridal bingo" type of bride which her mom knows. I'm just looking for ideas of different games, themes, etc... that I can present to her mom that we can plan together...thanks in advance for your help

I am standing up for my friend at her wedding, do I need to plan a shower?
This is her second marriage and she is getting married within four months of getting engaged. I was planning a great girls night out for us and close friends but she is wondering if her fiance's family who all live an hour away would be dissapointed not having a shower to attend. I am the wedding party so I don't have maids to help split the cost and the bride's mom sister are pretty much out of the question to ask for help.

What games i could plan for a wedding shower?
if i need to come up with prizes, what would it be?

Should I be concerned that it is 3 months before the wedding and the BMs still aren't planning the shower?
I am getting married January 3rd. I consider myself to be a nice person and tend to go beyond the call of duty for others. I am also a party planner. During the BM meeting, I gave the Bridesmaid so ideas of what to do and felt like it may have been a little bridezilla of me to plan my own shower. If they had any question they knew that I was just an e mail away. They are looking at me to plan the shower myself. I don't think that they even want to give me one to be honest. I am giving a bridal party barbeque where they are going to meet. They call every weekend to make sure that I am having it. They are so anxious and horny I guess to meet each other If I can rely on my attendants to give me one and my mom will not step in then should I plan it myself. At this point, I wouldn't even go if they had one. Am I over reacting?
