Cancel Shower??

I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way... One of my friends asked some time ago if she could throw one of my showers (Most of my family and friends live in a different area, so I will be having two showers). I was happy that she offered, because I know my MIL wouldn't offer to. She told me she's planning it for the 28th of this month. Recently my hubby told me that he asked her how the planning was going and she snapped at him, told him she didn't have time or money to deal with it right now, etc. I haven't said anything to her about it, but I'm wondering if I should just tell her to forget it. I know invites haven't gone out yet and I'd hate to be a "burden"-even though she's the one who offered to throw it! Should I just let her go with it, or tell her to not worry about it at the risk of sounding rude?

    I've had people offer and so far they haven't come through with planning anything so I'm not bringing it up to them.  I figure if they really wanted to do something for me they would have contacted me about it.  I'd just forget it and move on.

    If she doesn't or hasn't contacted you for mailing/email address to invite people at this point, I would assume that it is NOT happening. Sorry to hear your friend bit off more than she could chew at this point in her situation.

    Telling her to just forget it may come off as being bratty.Not worth the stress, especially if it wasn't the only shower being hosted for you.

    I agree with PP. I think it is safe to assume that she is not going to throw you a shower at this point and I would simply ignore her. I hate when people volunteer for something that they cannot live up to. It's better to keep your mouth shut. I actually ended up throwing a shower for a good friend of mine after someone did the exact same thing to her. She called me almost in tears because of it and I volunteered to get everything together. Maybe someone else will step in?

    That really stinks, I'm sorry that the plans fell through.  I would also assume that it isn't going to happen.  I wouldn't say anything to her about it at all, I would just not bring it up unless she does.  I'm sorry this happened : (

    I agree with just letting it go. That really stinks though and I was in a similar situation. Why is it that babies and weddings bring out the absolute worst in people??
