Has this ever been addressed here? I was appalled when my sisters got married, that my step mom threw them "Open House" showers. I guess this is/was a popular thing to do in Utah? It went down like this: Come see the bride between 12-2 pm, have some costco cake, drop your present and be gone!
No favors, no games, no opening presents, no good food, no fun party dresses, no lingerie to be held up and giggled over, no bonding between friends and mothers and family or future in-laws.
I was snubbed by my sister and step mom when I balked at the idea, and I subsequently dubbed it the "drive thru bridal shower". They thought I was so rude. Their only defense was that "saturdays are si busy for everyone, we figures we would make it easier on them than making them stay for three hours".
Insert giant eyeroll.
Anyone else see this happening?
