[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need an invitation? If this is your SIL, shouldn't you be throwing the shower with your MIL? Maybe you didn't get invited because you didn't help. And because you prioritize work over the shower.

They don't sound like the rude party....[/quote]

Not necessarily.  Sounds like OP's brother is married to SIL.  In which case, SIL's own blood relatives may be throwing her a shower.  It's possible that OP and her mother (the SIL's in-laws) could also throw her a family shower on their side of the family.  OP isn't rude.[/quote]

No OP said "hosted by my MIL". The SIL is DH's sister. OP should've been the one to throw this shower for her, not the mother. And it's a shower for her future niece/nephew and isn't going because of work. I'm surprised people think this is acceptable.

OP - call your MIL today and ask if you can be in charge of the cake or dessert. Offer to get there early to help decorate. Schedule your work around the shower.[/quote]

so when you are not invited to a party, do you call the host and ask if you can be in charge of dessert or help decorate?[/quote]
