My mom and BFF hosted my shower no one cared. [/quote]

They have manners and just didn’t tell you. [/quote]

I think there are a handful of posters on DCUM who claim to be from "old Southern money" and who "do things properly, etiquette wise" without any nod to the irony that if they're really old Southern money that means they are the descendants of plantation owners with hundreds of real live slaves and if they think that makes them somehow the experts on what's acceptable and what's not, well, then that's just hilarious.

Everyone knows bridal showers and baby showers are events that are literally intended to give presents to the bride / mom.  Yes, some people have their mom's best friend "host" it at their house while their mom is really the one planning it and footing the bill, but come on.  It's SO OLD FASHIONED.  Anyone under 65 who cares about this is the sort of person who joins the DAR and the Junior League of their city. [/quote]

Having a baby shower is also very old fashioned, so following the rules for asking for gifts is generally key. [/quote]
