[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also went through infertility and multiple losses (I have literally been doing ART continuously since April 2015) and I am dreading my shower but for a different reason.   I have sat through so many other ppls showers silently wishing for my own children.  Now I am pregnant and I want to celebrate it but I want it to be just how I want it.

Unfortunately I have a very close friend who, for lack of a better word, is a reverse snob.  She purposefully will go out and buy the cheapest thing available and not for lack of funds but for making the point. She has been very supportive through my journey and has become the host to my shower (she got together with my mom and now how does one say no). I love my friend; i just wish I could go out and decorate it how I want, have the invitations I want and buy food that I want to have and the cake that I want.  Example: so far I know she is doing evite bc its free and wont do paperless post and she is getting a cake from the supermarket. I know this sounds spoiled but after all that heartache I wish I could have input. [/quote]

Where is your mom in all of this?

My invite is on Paperless Post and it's free.[/quote]

I mean this is the thing. She went to my mom and offered to host, my mom thought it was a great idea and asked me. I agreed and now she is the host and organizing everything. My mom is not the co-host. And yes there are free invites on paperless post but this is a perfect example about what i said abt her reverse snobbiness or her contrariness or whatever. I said i liked some invites on paperless post and she dismissed said she was already doing evite; i gather she thinks its pretentious or too popular. But again shes been a true friend for a long time, these are small things and i feel like a jerk complaining. But the topic was are you dreading and i am bc its not what i have envisioned for so long. ... [/quote]

Maybe she just has a familiarity with Evites ... so you are annoyed that your invitations weren't up to par?  [/quote]
