		<description>Yeah - showers, not fun.  I already said that when I finally settle down, I&#039;m having my bachelorette party in Vegas.  No penis toys, stupid shirts, codom chains, nada.  And my guests don&#039;t have to give me gifts.  Bridal showers also drive me batty.  I had to throw one for a former boss of mine and I seriously wanted to blind myself it was driving me nuts.  Ugh!

		<description>howdy!  moo and raven sent me your way :-)

i&#039;m sort of pissed at how many effing parties / gifts / showers / etc brides get these days.  when i was just out of college, we&#039;d have ONE SHOWER and then go out that same night and get trashed and check items off a novelty tshirt.  now brides get a shower for friends, one for family, a bachelorette party, AND a wedding gift.  that&#039;s A LOT, especially if you&#039;re in the wedding party and are invited to ALL OF THOSE.  also paying to be in the wedding already.  

uhh... not that you&#039;ve hit a nerve, or anything.

		<description>The last shower I went to - the bridal party lined up and helped with opening gifts.  So by the time the gift got to the bride she only had to look at it and say, &quot;ohhh...ahhh...very nice.&quot;  Even though she KNEW what was coming.  Come on, you get to register for stuff - so how the hell are you supposed to act surprised or anything!  You can&#039;t even credit the gift-giver with good taste - you picked it out!

		<description>I had three showers because three separate groups of people asked to throw one, but I did my best to not invite anyone to more than one. And if I did (bridesmaids), I personally e-mailed them to tell them no gift was expected but if they wanted to, they only had to bring one to whichever they wanted. One of my good friends, Lauren, came to all of them, just because she wanted to but only brought one gift. And of COURSE that&#039;s OK. If you&#039;re going to have more than one---and sometimes it&#039;s hard not to with different circles of friends, etc---but you have to make sure people know you want their company, not their money. It&#039;s also important to remember that when someone who was super kind to you during your engagement, marriage needs you to throw a party or host a get-together, you JUMP at the chance. You&#039;re a good friend. I&#039;m sure she feels lucky to have you.

		<description>Showers are fun when they are for you ... not so much when you are forced to be the guest.

Also? I didn&#039;t get the memo once that it was a bedroom shower and brought a throw blanket. Hey! At least she could&#039;ve used it in the bedroom! (everyone else was giving lingerie and dildos ... new search term! bacon dildo!) (you&#039;re welcome)
