Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So my fiancée is having her bridal shower at the end of the month, and invitations were sent out. My mom, sister, and grandma on my dad’s side received invitations (my other grandmother passed away a few years ago). I got a call later from my dad asking if his sister or sister-in-laws were expecting invitations as well. I was not informed on who was receiving invitations to the bridal shower, so I asked my fiancée. She said that none were sent to them, as typically there are two bridal showers: one thrown by her mother and they invite their family, my mom, and my grandmothers, and the other thrown by my mom who invites our side of the family, her mother, and sister. 

My first reaction was, “Really? I’ve never heard of two bridal showers. That sounds excessive.” But I guess for where they are from, it is a thing. My mother isn’t in a financial situation where she can throw a bridal shower for her, and all of my family is scattered across the states, while my fiancée family all live in or around the same small town. My fiancée told me she doesn’t expect another shower, but her mother is hesitant at send more invitations, even though I’ve pointed out how bad and inconsiderate this looks from my side of the family. 

So AITA for asking them to send another, or is having two bridal showers an actual thing that I or my family have never heard of?
