DH's office having a potluck shower

They are having a "shower" for us on Wednesday over lunch. So sweet.

Do you think we should take some food, too?  Wasn't sure in this case.

    That's a good idea.

    Maybe I will make a few batches of cookies. Everyone likes cookies, right? :)

    We had one at my work and I took some food, but I got quite a few comments about how I was not suppose to bring anything. I just felt weird coming empty handed.

    ETA: I love it when I comment and completely forget to answer the question.....I agree with AustinBride06

    I would say bring a treat only as a thank you.  Maybe bring it in after the shower so people don't think you brought stuff to your own shower.

    On second thought, have DH bring the cookies the next day.  People will probably be overloaded on food from the shower the day-of so it'll be a nice surprise.  And I bet someone will be bringing a cake or some sort of dessert to the shower anyway.

    I would take something, just for the gesture.  Very sweet of them.  Have fun!

    This is what we did.  DH's office threw us the same sort of shower.  I wrote thank you notes and attached bags of cookies to them a day or so later.

    You all are geniuses.

    Thanks - definitely like the idea of day-after treats!
