Seriously!<br /><br />I think I would try to find a way to bring all this up to the friend and tell her that most "hostesses" do the WORK and planning that goes along with the fact that they VOLUNTEERED to give you a shower! ARGH! Sorry....but I can't believe that your friend is making it like this for you.<br /><br />I'm sorry!

She's your bff and this is the way she's dealing with it (and i bet you that you are being overly nice and offering too, huh - aren't you!? ~wink~)<br /><br />But yes, a shower should be for YOU where all you have to do is give the guest list and show up. But this will be your only shower (unless you decide to have showers for future babies, I only had the one) and you don't want resentment. Enjoy what you can and try to let the negatives, no matter how warrented, go.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479202205264710056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918545958452884679.post-42181048249994092702009-08-11T03:23:17.562-06:002009-08-11T03:23:17.562-06:00I agree with all the others.

All I had to do for mine was make a list of the people I wanted to come and give their address to the hostess. So yes I think your frustration is warranted, whats the point of having her host the shower if you are doing all the work!?<br /><br />I can't wait to see Olive's finished nursery!

You do have a right to gripe! <br /><br />My shower is being planned, and the only thing I've had to do is give one of my friends a list of people and addresses for invites. Oh, and I've also had to help pick a date and help get my friend in touch with my mom because my mom is helping with the planning.<br /><br />You could always skimp or skip out on the traditional "hostess gift" to return the favor...<br /><br />I hope your shower is marvelous to make up for it though!faedrakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971637685939592979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918545958452884679.post-20707449451521170092009-08-10T17:58:00.571-06:002009-08-10T17:58:00.571-06:00Just getting caught up after being away the last 2...Just getting caught up after being away the last 2 weeks or so but I think your nursery looks great! Sorry about the fabric mishap and the shower issues. You're not being petty. If she offered to throw the shower those are all HER duties.

If she is the one planning the shower then she becomes the person responsible for all of the planning.<br /><br />It's rude to have you do anything beyond provide addresses for the invites.<br />But again, just my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918545958452884679.post-45676752549106969852009-08-10T14:24:13.265-06:002009-08-10T14:24:13.265-06:00Yep, I agree with everyone else, it's YOUR sho...Yep, I agree with everyone else, it's YOUR shower and whoever offered to throw it is in charge of pretty much everything.<br /><br />My SIL is doing mine on the 29th and all I've done is give her the names and addresses of everyone and she asked how many games I wanted to play.

You don't offer to throw someone a shower and then make them do all the work and pay for things! Your feelings are by far warranted!! <br /><br />I'm sorry, but I laughed out loud when you talked about your "F" bomb spat...I totally feel that rage when I do things like that....My dog Emma gets up and moves away from me. She knows Momma needs her space.

Eeek! I would have been royally pissed off too! Sorry girl!<br /><br />About your shower, this is my honest opinion. You should NOT have to pay or do any planning for anything T! I can't believe she is making you do some of these things. I can understand her asking your OPINION on certain things but when someone offers to give you a shower, like Fine For Now said, they are offering to "GIVE" you a shower, not assist you in giving yourself one. Sheesh! It actually pisses me off because you deserve to kick back and not do a damn thing! If I lived there I'd give you the best shower ever...no help needed! :) I'm sorry it turned out that way...what a freakin' bummer!Morgan Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327217122323599312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918545958452884679.post-22121117595050578502009-08-10T10:08:28.674-06:002009-08-10T10:08:28.674-06:00I'm helping plan a friend's shower for Oct...I'm helping plan a friend's shower for October and we feel bad "bothering" her with questions of what she would like.
