First Bridal Shower - Disaster!

this just stinks. It's so bad when people go out of their way to do something like this without even considering the bride or groom. This is the worst kind of show.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear the latest news! I just can't believe the nerve of some people. The poor man she is marrying!! Just look at it that way. Once she's married she's someone elses problem (LOL)! Maybe that will help you let go.

It's also not a complete loss, you have helped many of us learn from your experience! Thank you!

Chris, you may want to reconsider the whole "bless" thing. The bible says that by praying for our enemies we heap burning coals on their heads.

Just a thought.

I love bridal showers.

on the bringing a gift to a PC shower. When I talk with the person booking it I ask if the bride has a sense of humor. If she does we ask each guest to bring thier favorite recipe and a canned food with the label removed and wrapped in pretty paper or gift bag. The food must be used in the recipe she provided. When the newlyweds return home from their honeymoon they can cook dinner with cans from their "mystery" pantry.

IF they think she would be offended I ask the host to divide the invites into 3 groups. 1 group gets a note asking them to bring a cookie cutter (or 2), one group a kitchen towel the other a spice.
The bride gets to open things but the guests know they will be purchasing at the shower.

I encourage them to order products for their own kitchens and then the gifts for the bride is entered under the grooms name.
