Nope didnt get a gift because I figured the approximate 500 I ended up spending by the time everything was over (my husband ended up buying beer and cigars for the guys) was gift enough.
Nah I will never bring it up, it's over...
I'm not going to put the screws to them when it's my turn. I think cuz my friend grew up wealthy and priveledged, she will throw something similar for me when its her turn. If not, then whatever....
She's a nice girl, just crazy demanding when it comes to baby shower time.
Regarding throwing themselves showers....you usually have them later in your pregnancy (after the 5th or 6th month)..you usually cant stand and decorate and do stuff. For example, I was standing on tables to put up streamers..I wouldnt want a pregnant woman to do that. And I was blowing up balloons with helium tanks and then standing on a ladder to put them up..wouldnt want a woman who's about to give birth (in 5 weeks) to do that..what if she fell? So I think its always something your girlfiends/sister/mother/female does.
And this girl had THREE different showers..one her coworkers threw at work, one her mom did with all their relatives and family friends, and the one I threw where we invited men and women and all their friends...while the girls played games in the clubhouse, the guys smoked cigars an dhad beed out on the pool deck
