I was told this is how they are 'throwing' the showers now. Is this going on in your town also?????? Am I just being too old fashioned to think the choice of gift is mine to make??? I can understand a theme or 'we are registered at' but just all gift cards only?????
I haven't received any yet here where I live - most are registered some place. Where is the excitement of opening up that shower gift? I guess if someone gave $$$$ money then they might get excited. I personally don't like it. I think it is presumptious of someone to ask for "money".
