I was having this discussion with my mom the other day. I said that most brides expect gifts off the registry, that its to "shower" the bride with things to start her new home. She said that when she was my age, bridal showers were to shower the bride with personal things for her, like nightgowns and such. She said it was never registry gifts, that that was for the wedding. She still prefers to buy off registry for showers. I suspect most brides don''t like that, but she''s a pretty good gift giver and always gives gift slips.
Anyway, I was wondering if this was a generational thing, a regional thing, a cultural thing or what? Any thoughts? What are showers for in your opinion?
