Inilan asked:


Note: the bride’s mother and mother-in-law-to-be will be present for the bridal shower but not the bachelorette party.

I have never attended a bridal shower before and I just recently was invited to my friends’. I have been invited to several but always was unable to attend. What sort of gifts do you normally give? Is a bridal shower the same as the lingerie party?

I’m throwing my sister’s bridal shower and she wants a fairy tale theme. We have the favors picked out, but we’re both clueless about what to give as prizes for those who win the games. We’d like to keep them in the same theme. Any suggestions?

KayDee asked:


I am having a bridal shower for my younger sister. She asked me to include on the shower invitation a request for gift receipts with gifts, so that she can return any duplicates etc. I feel that is tacky, but is this common or acceptable?

Wondering asked:


What kind of gifts do you give away for the games you play at a bridal shower? Any ideas?

Tulla asked:


I agree that every bridal party should care for their bride enough to throw them a shower and a bachelorette party. However, I am in a wedding this year and the bride is acting like these things are entitlements rather than gifts or genstures from her bridal party. She has laid out explicitly what she wants for both and both are pretty over the top. She wanted a shower a year before the wedding because she scheduled to move into her house then and wanted to have everything all at once. She scheduled a ridiculous bachelorette party a week before Christmas and created a detailed itinerary for the day, indicated that we must have t-shirts made with a “catchy phrase” about her. Isn’t that stuff that the bridal party should come up with? I feel like we can’t do anything nice for her because she’s being too specific. Shouldn’t you let the bridal party act on their own? I agree that every bride should give the girls an idea of what they want but not like this.
To give a little more detail to the bachelorette party around the holidays- 30 bars in 8 hours, rented bus and of course the t-shirts with the phrase. She offered to pay if the cost got out of controll.
