3rd Trimester

I still can't believe what I just read...

So I frequent the Baby Showers board, and people are always asking "Why can't I throw my own shower," but I've never heard anyone try to justify it like this:

"So I understand hosting your own shower is rude...because you are throwing a party for people to give you gifts. But isn't that exactly what a wedding is, a party for people to give you gifts?"

Apparently, people have weddings to throw a party and get gifts. Ick!

 

Re: I still can't believe what I just read...

  • Hahahaha.... Omg I'm dying.  I thought my wedding was to celebrate the joining of my husband and I... wow.

  • Ummm.  If it was all about getting gifts, I think feeding everyone alone would cost more than the gifts recieved. Nice try to whoever posted that!
  • Well, come to think of it, DH and I did rack up when we got married.  Hmmm?  How soon before we can renew our vows?  A few of my dishes are chipped.
