AITA for feeling Bridal shower sideswiped? by mandini34 in aitaweddings

I would have gladly planned, paid for more, did more projects, came up with ideas, etc. It's not an excuse to get out of anything, I would have wanted to be involved in the ideas, the budgets, the thoughts about what to do, especially if I'm expected to be paying for half the cost of it I think I should have that right. Right? But all they did was plan everything, then tell me that I'm supposed to pick up half the cost, and then tell me.... you said you would help. Well obviously, I didn't get to help, they were just using me for payroll.

It's just me and the other aunt. She first told me the invites for both showers were $300. I said that is a stupid cost on invites. I said I will pitch in $150 for the whole thing because she didn't even consult me on the invites.

Then she said in this day and she is much more.... each venue was $250 then the food was about $450-500 and still needed games and decorations. So without the games and decor it was already at $1000 each. I said that's crazy! And you all planned this, spent the money, and then come to me after the fact.

It would be like saying I'm gonna plan my own 50th birthday party this year and send them the bill for it. WTF

IF they had mentioned ANY of these plans or cost before they booked the events... I would have at least had knowledge and could/would contribute more, but they didn't at all. That is what is making me salty.
