not sure where to add this
Mary1978 - 12:55pm Jan 21, 2010 ESTShower questions:
Ok I am new to this and my sister has never been to a shower but she is the one throwing the shower for me. It is a couples shower and she is having trouble with the door prizes she should buy. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking gift cards to chain restaurants. But also how many and how much do you spend on them?
The other question I have is, is it rude not to open gifts at the shower? My sister does not want to make me rush through opening them and thought it would be better if we could take our time opening them at home. But I know some people might get offended. What do you guys think?

Mary, I am not a big shower person (meaning I'm not really good with that kind of thing) but I did host one. It was in the spring and we bought potted flowers that were very pretty for door prizes and a spa/massage gift card (though the co-host worked at the salon).
As far as opening gifts I would say, if you are allowed to be up at that time go for it. If you are supposed to be resting then, just tell your guests you appreciate it, but feel you shouldn't be up to help keep baby girl safe! They'll probably understand...though, a good set up on the couch might allow you to open at least the small ones.
Have fun getting all kinds of fun stuff for your little one!

Thanks
thanks ladies...I am going to be on a couch at the shower and my husband will be in charge of opening gifts if we decide to. I think it is all going to depend on how I am feeling at the time and what side effects I am having from the procardia. I just want to make it fun for everyone, I know our time is going to be limited so I am going to leave it up to that whether we open gifts or not I think.
Thank you for all the gift ideas. My sister will appreciate it!
