Wedding Shower update.

[Gypsy]

You all were right, the shower ended up being more fun than I anticipated (of course I anticipated a root canal). There were no games, no ‘events’… it was more like a ladies lunch (at times it dragged a bit, honestly) but it wasn’t torturous or embarrassing and my mom and I didn’t fight. I thought she’d hate the dress I bought, but she loved it (and the bright blue shoes). I did get a lot of lovely presents, INCLUDING some tasteful lingerie. My mom got me a lovely long silk nightgown and matching robe with a paisley print that I love. I got two pairs of silk PJ’s which are elegant but still sexy. I also got a lot of appliances and some towels off my registry – those from the ‘wilder’ friends I was worried about hitting Fredrick’s up. I was very relieved to get the toaster I registered for, LOL, from one of the ladies. My only head scratching present was a stainless steel spatula in the shape of a shoe. With a kitten heel. It was accompanied by a lovely card, I was relieved there was no Fredrick’s, loved the whimsy, and I really appreciated getting a gift at all.

All in all. It was good. Thanks for the support guys and for letting me vent and whine.
BTW: Mom did have a ‘safety’ dress for me… but she played it off as a Birthday present (B-day is next week) and was very effusive in her praise of the dress I was wearing. My uncle (who stopped by just before the shower to say hi) did a double take from seeing me in something with COLOR and youthful. I don’t have pics yet, but I will post one of my dress, provided that any of them come out okay. My aunt was taking pics and she has a knack for taking the most unflattering pics of me.

O.M.G.!!! you went from talking about receiving nice lingerie to appliances, and i just have to say that my initial interpretation of "appliances" was NOT a toaster!

glad that the shower turned out to not be a root canal-esque experience and yay for getting great gifts!

now post pix because i''m highly curious about these blue shoes...

Thank you Jules.

Doodle. I just re-read and LMAO at the mis-interpretation. WHOOPS!

Here are the BLUE shoes. http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/128/b/AAAAAmv2IvoAAAAAASi4Kw.jpg?v=1217964592000 They were on sale, matched the dress I bought, very affordable, and comfortable. .
I don’t have a pic of my dress but this is the exact designer and fabric. The style is just different as it''s a sleeveless V neck instead of a wrap around style dress.

Gypsy, Glad you had a nice shower. And glad your mom liked you dress etc. Yes! Do post pictures soon!!!

Doodle, you''re too funny about the "appliances".

Aww! So glad you enjoyed your shower and that everything went smoothly. I love the dress (print) and shoes.

When you think of a shower as a "womens'' luncheon with gifts" if sounds so much more doable than the old fashioned showers where you spent hours opening up potholders and doilies and playing clothespin games!
