ugh...
baby showers and bridal showers... aka... the worst thing ever.
seriously... ew. a bunch of random women bunched together on fold out chairs oo-ing and ah-ing over lame gifts.
i have to throw a baby shower for my sister this fall... and i have decided on a halloween theme...
absolutely no games. but plenty of food and food.
i think the games are the worst part... cuz frankly i do not think they are a lil bit fun or funny.
ie:
baby showers:
everyone having a baby pin and if they say the word 'baby' they have to give it to the person that caught them saying it... whoever has the most pins wins...
or... diapers filled with mushed up candy bars... you have to guess what candy bar it is...(you would think that i would like this cuz its supposed to be funny involving poop like situations... but... mostly i think it is an egregious waste of candy...)
or...name that baby food...(lame)
or...guess how big around the mom is...(ugh... just another delightful way to remind the mom she is a fat slob)
bridal showers:
bridal bingo...i dont even feel like explaining this
guess that household item wrapped in paper...
make a veil outta toilet paper...(the aunts and grandmas just pee thier mom jeans over this game...they love it)
questions that the fiance answered and now the bride has to see if she gets the same answers...slightly interesting... when it was called the newlywed game!
ugh.
wanna know whats really going on during a shower...well i'm gonna tell ya...
bridal showers: the bride just really wants everything on her registry... and she is slightly annoyed any time she gets a gift that she only registered for cuz its was kinda cute, or to fill her registry...she just wants her kitchen stuff... and bedroom stuff...seriously... thats all....she is always super annoyed when people get her something that is... heaven forbid... not from her registry... like a weird centerpiece or a non-approved picture frame...(items that are pretty much always a regift)
the guests, if married are just there for the food. if the guests are engaged... they are there to see what the bride gets and they will be looking at thier registry afterwards to ammend it. guests that are single just want the food, and to get thru a get together without someone asking if they are next.
baby showers:the mom to be...wants the big stuff...she wants the packnplay..the stroller...she gets annoyed when she gets outfits that aren't her style(obviously not on the registry)...too many blankets... ahh!!... she wants everyone to tell her she is one of those perfect pregnant ladies who you can't tell is pregnant 'cept for the belly... she wants the other moms to say how jealous they are of how good she looks, she doesn't want people saying any of the following: 'whoa! do you got twins in there?' 'you look ready to pop' 'oh my goodness you got huge!'...guests just wanna see a few cute things...but after the second onsie they are bored and just pretending to care...most are there for the mini quiches, to see how fat the mom to be has gotten, and to get inside information about the name of the baby or the wierd birth plan that they can talk about to their friends later...
yes.... underneath those cute sundresses...and trendy necklaces.... there are hearts of monsters....
women are bitchy meanies...
ok... so there are some ladies that will read this... or not read this who would say...and i'm paraphrasing..'oh heavens no... i dont feel like that at showers...showers are so fun and such a special time to celebrate a friend or relative, its not about the gifts or the food, its about the sweet fellowship between women'... these ladies are either from a generation that didn't have 'registrys' or... are aliens.
whoa beki, why the hate and judgement?!? uh... duh thats what i do.
done. brush your teeth.
