gift experience baby image

Okay, I heard its proper to get your bridal party gifts for thanking them but also your parents and the grooms parents. Now, I can do that no problem except for my fiancees mom. I have no idea what she wants. Everything we have gotten her just sits around collecting dust, as if she doesn't like it or something. Honestly I don't think she even really likes me? Haha, but thats besides the point.
Answer
Firstly, it seems as though the fact that you think your future mother in law doesn't like you really IS something you care about. I can empathise, as I have had a similar experience with the whole of my husband's family. I can also understand the gift thing - I have spent thousands of dollars on gifts for my MIL and, although she's graciously accepted the, she's never seemed to LOVE any of them. However, the one gift I gave her that really helped was a gift certificate for a massage (you could also do facial, manicure, etc). I don't know what your budget is, but you could get her a gift certificate for a mani/pedi for the two of you - it would be a great way for you to get to know her a bit better and everyone likes to feel pampered.
I would also add that your mother is law is about to see her "baby" get married - mothers have a really hard time with this. Write her a nice card to go with your gift, something like "I know planning this wedding has been stressful for you, and I want you to know how much your support means to me. I'm looking forward to becoming a part of your family - you deserve some "you" time, I hope you enjoy this massage" etc. Trust me, she will appreciate it and it will make you feel closer to her!
Good luck, and congratuations on your upcoming wedding!

Is it inappropriate to throw yourself a baby shower?
Ashley
Having my second child in 9 weeks.. Large family on both sides but never got a baby shower with my first child. Not doing it for the gifts just want the experience and no one has stepped forward to do it. I just moved to the state so I dont have many friends here that would do something like this.
Is it inappropriate to throw one for myself.. should I just get over the idea of having one.
Answer
Sorry, but it is inappropriate to throw yourself a shower. It makes you look like you're begging for gifts even if you aren't.
