granted, my own bridal shower is not mine to throw or even mine to want or not want. so why am i even thinking about this. well, i guess i'm a bit nervous about being on the receiving end. i feel a bit weirded out with yet another opportunity to accept gifts as a bride-to-be. i guess i want to know what we're celebrating and acknowledging, exactly.
i mean...bachelorette party is for unabashed wildness. i totally get that. and yes, i will gladly participate. holla.
but bridal showers? what's the point?
oddly, on the flipside, i love throwing showers and doting on bride-to-be's. oh. so maybe that's what bridal showers are about? allowing the ladies who love you...to shower you with love...?
what's your take?
***************************************
that said, there have been a couple of showers i've seen around the nets as of late that i have been slightly lusting after. i can't wait to use these (or some variation of these) ideas.
first, there was meg's shower. i guess when you're super practical, you're surrounded by friends who are just as practical (and lovely). books?! so. cool. (if you haven't read oscar wao yet, please do. now. thank you.)
blair on elizabeth anne designs shared the deets on her 5 showers. kitchen shower? yes please. stock the bar shower? always a good idea. but a christmas ornament shower?! that's just beyond radical.
i think the trick is...to keep it personal to make it successful. note-to-self for any showers i throw in the future for my non married lovelies.
so...out of curiosity...what were the hi's-and-lo's of bridal showers you've thrown or been thrown?
p.s. pics of this party to come!
