You either learn to let them plan it or you have a serious talk with them and thank them for the offer but you are planning it yourself.
Gender Reveal/ Baby Shower?
Hi girls, I need some help to keep my pregnant brain cells calm. My neighbor who is a like good friend to us is planning my gender reveal/ baby shower party for us and am a super control freak and feel like have no control over this event planning. My husband has been discussing things with them but they are not involving me as much and are planning to surprise me. I dnt knw the venue, the theme, the decor, the food or even the time of the day! 1) Isn’t this supposed to be a surprise for both my husband and I? I mean we both have not yet opened the envelope. 2) Should I not be included in anything? Like I have dreamt of it since I got pregnant and have been saving pins on my Pinterest😒
I have some major control issues.. I read the plot of a movie before I watch it as I hate surprises.. Yeah, I am that pyscho😖. How can I be polite yet straight to this sweet couple trying to plan me a surprise 😫?

Maybe offer to share your Pintrest Board with them? Just politely say, “I am so grateful that you have offered to plan and host this event, I know you want it to be a surprise, but could I share my pintrest board with you?” Explain what you told us, that you are excited, but have been planning and dreaming of this and admit to being a control freak. If they are really good friends, they’ll 1) already know you’re a control freak and understand and 2) want to take your opinions into consideration.

Thank you. You are right I can show her my board and explain how I want it. I am sure I am just overreacting.

But, ultimately, if you are going to let them host- you’ll have to give up control.
