This week in our forum, one of our member's is concerned about her upcoming bridal shower.
Smalltownlady says, "I really don't need a shower. However, my extended family- specifically my Grandma and a couple great-aunts (whom I'm very close to) want to host a shower. Is there a polite way to tell my great aunts and grandma not to host one? Or is this something I just accept gracefully and thank everyone who attends?"
Auntofthebride offered a suggestion for an alternative wedding shower. "Here's an idea. Make your shower a theme like "Recipes" and ask people to bring their "secret" recipes, along with some utinsel to make the recipe. That way you get a nice assortment of relatively inexpensive kitchen tools and some great recipes, without adding tons of clutter to your home."
