[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d just host it at your house. I don’t mind traveling 45 min or so for a shower for a close friend. I have been to showers in Maryland and I live in Reston. It’s fine. It’s stupid to pay those prices. [/quote] +1 I live in an 800 sf apartment and would definitely still pick hosting a lovely gathering at home rather than spend more than I want to. If you offered to host/if she asked you to host, it's fair to let her know about limits that you have and then if she wants something bigger or flashier than that, she'll have to figure out how to make that happen or else regroup and be grateful for the party you are offering her. I'm another one who is over the posh shower culture. I love celebrating life milestones for friends, but there has GOT to be a better way to do it than making small talk over themed nibbles and then being trapped in my chair for an hour to watch The Gift Opening. NOT FUN.[/quote]
