So I've been helping a little bit with my shower, mostly so DIY stuff to be unique and cute without spending a lot. Anyways, I compiled my guest list so my step-mom can send out invites but I feel like this shower might not happen.
A little background, due to financial issues (me not being allowed to work my first tri and showing my second so I couldn't get a job leaving just my Fiancee working and not making enough with just him) we're currently staying with my parents who just got a new house...with a pool...right before summer...so EVERYONE wants to use it for whatever they have planned. The shower was the first thing that was decided would be thrown at the house, co-ed, BBQ style probably, not sure about kids yet but probably since the people who could watch everyone's kids would be at the shower too. As of right now our only open weekend is the 3rd weekend in June if someone doesn't ask to use the house that day (we've pushed it back twice to accommodate everyone else wanting to use the house/pool) but we haven't even sent out invites or gotten addresses for some people yet. I didn't think it would be a big deal but as it's getting closer and no progress is being made I'm going to be a little hurt if the shower doesn't happen.
I don't want to sound selfish but they decided this before everyone else started asking to use the house/pool and I feel like it's going to be really late for a shower by the time we do it and it just won't seem appropriate anymore (I'll be 34/35ish weeks).
Re: Thoughts? (long)
This. Why can't you just set a date in stone and then that weekend is reserved and no one else can claim it. This isn't rocket science. Also, why do you think 34/35 weeks is inappropriate? That's a very common TO have a shower.
