Is it inappropriate for me to have...

Q. MY MOTHER IN LAW TO BE FEELS IT IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR ME TO HAVE A BRIDAL SHOWER BECAUSE HER SON AND I HAVE A CHILD ALREADY AND LIVE TOGETHER. IS SHE RIGHT?

A. Your mother-in-law is partially right. In years past, it was considered inappropriate for one who had a child or who lived with someone to have a large wedding or to have a shower. Those were considered to be things for the first-time bride who is just starting her household, not for someone who has already accumulated things. Couples who were living together were expected to make a quiet trip to the justice of the peace to make things legal. The bride was treated as if she were a second time bride, not a first time one.

Today, we are a bit more lax with things, but we still need to be tasteful. Whether it is appropriate for you to have a shower will depend on how long the two of you have lived together. If you already have everything for your household, you could have a lingerie shower or something other than one at which you receive household items. And it is perfectly fine to not have a shower. You shouldn't be involved in initiating or planning a shower other than providing a list of names of people to invite. It is up to your family and friends to volunteer to have one, or not have one.

It sounds as though your mother-in-law disapproves of the idea of a big wedding because you have been living together. It could be on religious grounds or it could be that she is very conscious of doing what she thinks is "proper." If it is on religious grounds, then her views should be acknowledged. If she is concerned about doing what is proper, she should realize that times are changing. If you are planning a lavish wedding and are going all out, she may feel that you are overdoing it.
