Has Anyone Ever Had or Attended a Wedding Shower on Mother's Day?

I've never heard of it, but I'm sure it happens.

Sometimes, planning a shower is really difficult because so many people have prior plans. I'm sure when the host planned this shower (and the bride accepted), she knew there would be a chance a lot of people would not be able to attend. Your relative could have declined but chose to attend. Clearly, you would have declined.

Personally, I would go if I had time. It's not like a bridal shower takes up your entire day. I'd visit with my mother either before or after the shower if I could.

It cracks me up when someone asks a question and then tells others not to give the only possible answer.

What does being a close relative have to do with anything? It's a shower, ferpetesake, not a coronation. I wouldn't even think of giving up Mother's Day plans to attend a shower and it wouldn't matter if it was my own sister getting married. Heck, I missed one sister's shower because my hubbys parents were having an anniversary party.

I'll never get why people think declining an invitation is a cardinal sin of some sort. It was stupid to plan it for today, but even more stupid if people left their moms dangling to attend it.

No, I haven't nor would I go. No one is compelled to attend any party, even that of a close relative. She made a choice, and she chose the close relative.

By the way, the host is the one to blame for the day of the shower, not the guest of honor(though she should have declined).

i think of you ought to might desire to place off your wedding ceremony for some years till Kayley grows up adequate to comprehend that badmouthing the mummy of your toddler is doing no longer something yet harm to the youngster. If she places a stress on your dating with Savana then Savana ought to furnish up you seeing Merissa whilst Kayley's around, which would be under no circumstances if she's your spouse, so she desires to strengthen up and act like a mature lady able to bing a spouse and step-mom, no longer slightly whiney ***** who desires to pass residing house to mommy and daddy in Georgia, and whinge approximately your youngster's mom.

Honestly - who freaking cares? It's a stupid made up holiday anyway. If you're old enough to get married (i.e. at least a young adult) your mother is old enough to expect flowers, a card or maybe a phone call. People have lives that don't revolve around their mothers.

I love my mom, but if I was invited to a bridal shower I'd go without hesitation. I am an adult and have to balance priorities. I can take my mom out to lunch on another Sunday.

I think it's an unfortunate date to have it, but at the same time, it probably wouldn't kill everyone to show up for a couple of hours, have some cake, hope the bride enjoys her gift, then take off.

Mother's day should be every day of the year.
