how did the bridal shower go?

Re: :: td ::

  • It was actually lovely. I really like my fSIL, and she seemed to love every second of it. My mom controlled pretty much everything (naturally), which was mildly embarrassing  considering the shower was thrown by my sister and me. Obviously she'd done a lot of the prep since I was out of town and my sister is inept, but I'd wanted to her to keep a low profile the day of. No such luck. Also, she was so strict about the rules to gift bingo that no one wanted to play. Otherwise, nothing truly WTF-worthy.
  • what is gift bingo?

  • AND WHAT WERE THE FAVORS?  DEAR HEAVENS, THE FAVORS.

  • Gift bingo is the most low-maintenance and least obnoxious of all bridal shower games. Basically everyone gets a 5x5 grid, and they write down things they think the bride will get. Then, as the gifts are opened, you mark them off on your board and the first person with 5 in a row wins.

    But my mom made everyone trade papers so they couldn't cheat, then she was all 'China' doesn't count as 'dishes,' 'pots and pans' means a set, not a single pot or pan, etc. So by the end of her tirade I think about 6 of the 75 people there actually bothered to play.

     

    The favors were tiny gift bags filled with candy. I spent 2 hours sorting Hershey's nuggets and counting out gold and silver wrappers (because they all had to be exactly the same), and then I didn't even get one.
