Word for word, this is the latest email from MoH:
Honestly, I think with each person ordering their own food and covering their own food costs, anywhere should be fine. This is a combination bachelorette/bridal shower and yes, there are expenses, but each person can manage them--they can choose to not have drinks with dinner, to have an appetizer for their entree, they don't have to stay for dinner, etc (We left the invites open so people can each manage their own experience.)And if all else fails,this is why God invented credit cards. :)
Kill her, Aimee. Kill her a lot.

Glad you're back, Susan.
Empress, I wish I had the perfect thing to say....
(Though now I feel like a slacker now that I know you got only 1 hour.)
If I had my druthers, I'd have called in too. Or at least been a few hours late. Today is the only day that I absolutely had to be here at 8 am. Though I just shut my office door and had a 20 minute power nap.
I feel a little less feral now.
Well, we do that with friends who like to socialize in pricey restaurants, and we have a couple hwo are all foody like that and that's a big joy for them. We meet them for drinks or show up for dessert. They never seem to mind that much.
Aims, she's full of it. You know that everyone will be expected to chip in a percentage based on the number of people, not on what you actually ate. Also, I'm sure the bride's meal/drinks will also be factored into that percentage (I'm sure they aren't going to ask her to pay considering it's a party for her). All of the celebratory dinners I've attended have cost far more than simply the cost of my own meal...

For all that is good and holy, why hasn't MoH been struck by a bolt of lightning yet? I'm in total and complete agreement with juliana--kill her ded. ded ded ded ded ded ded DED. And once more for good measure.

The big difference being that this is a bridal shower and your friends aren't expected to bring you a gift beforehand.
Kill her, Aimee. Kill her a lot.
If you don't, I'm coming out there to do the job myself.
Timelies, everyone.
Go power nap, Maria! That's what office doors are for.

The other difference is, it kind of sucks of some of the invitees feel like they can't afford to stay for the whole party. Plus, there are those who don't use/don't have credit cards. I'm with juliana. Kill her so dead.
I want to go off on her so incredibly bad, I can taste it. But every time someone send her an email, she calls Bride and tells her.
