Surpise Bridal Shower???

[MickeyAnne]

Hello ladies -
I am mainly a lurker, my PJ is around here somewhere but I just don't find time to update it as much as I want. I definitely know what you are all up to though! I get so inspired by all of your posts and they help me soo much!

I am just wondering how many of you were surprised with your bridal shower? My family is planning a surprise for me and let me tell you, I am actually dreading it! Not for any other reason then the fact that I HATE surprises. I am a planner by nature and I like to know where I am going to be, what I am wearing - I just like to be prepared. I know that what they plan will be awesome, I just wish that they would tell me when its going to be. I am sweating just thinking about walking in to something that I don't know I am walking in to. I get so embarressed in situations like that and actually get very nervous (seriously just thinking about it is getting me all worked up). This is coming from the person who almost had a panic attack in the middle of Rockafeller Center when DF was proposing because I didn't want people looking at us. I am wierd and I know it but are any of you like me?

All my mom will tell me is that I have to get dressed and ready no matter where I am going every weekend in April. That is soooo stressful to me. I dunno - anyone have any advice to chill me out?

Oh poor you! I would love it but I know it's not everyone's idea of fun.

Just go with it, you know it is going to happen at some point so try and enjoy the build-up as much as you can.

I would love it if someone threw me a bridal shower, surprise or otherwise, but it's not going to happen.

I hope you have a great time when it does happen

My co-worker is busily planning all her prewedding festivities and it makes me a little sad that I'm not having any. I kind of wish that I was having a shower, but I get my Disney wedding so oh well. Everyone is harrassing us to register, but since I'm not having a shower I don't see much point.

Scottish/Canadian- REGISTER! LOL I'm having an at home wedding and I am having a shower as well, however I've had everyone from neighbors to customers asking me where I registered at....and none of them are even invited! Many people will want to give you gifts during this time.

To the OP: Gee! I'm a control freak as well so I know exactly why this would stress you out! Fortunatly my family realizes this and while I'm not allowed to help plan anything I am allowed to know whats what. Ask your mom if she can narrow down the weekends so that you know its at least between A or B........it makes no sense to have you get all dressed up [and worked up!] only to find out its a regular day! I hope all works out for you and that in the end you enjoy your shower!

I know about my bridal shower because I had to give my marton of honor and my mom the date i could get back home. I live in FL and everyone is in NJ. I hate that i know about it. Because they ask me what i want and what kinda theme what kind of cake, where do i want it. Etc....
