Is This Tacky?

I have two friends, I know they will be planning a shower for me. One is set on a surprise shower one is not, one is verrrrrry laid back and one is verrrry fussy. I know they will be getting on each others nerves (they even get on my nerves @ times but I love them dearly). So I have asked an in-law to step in to be a go-between so my 2 friends won't have to deal directly with each other. Is that idea tacky? Do you think it will work? TIA

    I wouldn't ask someone to help throw a shower unless they already offered. As for feeding them to people you know don't get along - how enjoyable will that be for the poor in-law caught in the middle? No, I don't think it will work. Yes, I think it's tacky. Let the two girls figure it out and  you sit back and prepare for your baby. You're not planning it - they are. Let it happen.

    I agree w/ pp and say let them work it out.  I was way too involved in the planning for my bridal shower and I regret it.  Just enjoy the ride!

    If they dont' get along to a degree where you need a go-between so that they dont' have to deal directly w/ one another, then why on earth are they co-hosting in the first place?  That makes no sense to me.

    It is not your place how the hosts of your shower deal with things. It is your place to show up for your shower and enjoy yourself. That is all.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    Let them handle it.  Either or both of them would probably be annoyed that you felt like you needed to find them a babysitter, and it's inappropriate for you to solicit an additional host/assistant, anyway.  They'll figure out a way.

    In-law would have been mad if she did not have a major role to play. She is very happy to be the go-between because she is one of those no nonsense people who is not afraid to speak her mind. If she was not comfortable to do it, then it would have been me.

    These two are not friends of each other. I know one through work and one outside of work.
