erb82:Okay ladies, I need your help. I offered to throw a shower for my best friend, and am very happy to do it for her. I started asking general questions (do you want to play games, ladies only or co-ed, any food she specifically wants or can't stand to be around), and she basically started planning the shower herself. Everyday she sends me pictures and says let's do this at my shower. Where is the line between getting her input so that she enjoys the day and saying back off, I'm throwing this thing? I'm pretty worried because I threw her bridal shower a few years back and in the end she outright rejected all my plans, told me what we were going to do (like gave me a menu and a schedule) and I just financed it and pretended to be the hostess.
So why did you offer a second time? I wouldn't have, at least with out some specifications. I mean, I love my best friend, but to just finance her shower for her isn't my idea of a fun time.
