Mine was in February. It was a really, really nice time. My mom and my MOH threw it and it was a surprise at a restaurant. My mom, and grandmom, my aunts and cousins on my mom's, dad's, and stepdad's side, FI's mom, Grandmom, aunt's and cousins and my friends were all there. We got a ton of gifts from our registry and a few that we didn't register for as well. It took kind of a while to open them all but my MOH was very organized and that help speed up the process.

My shower was a surprise as well and my MOH and my mom hosted it at a restaurant. My dad created this whole scheme to surprise me and I had abosultely no idea. My mom took me across the street to buy a dress for the shower right after I got there. My grandma was there, aunts, cousins and a few friends. We had so much fun and it was a beautiful spring day. I got a couple things off my registry and few that weren't. My favorite gift was the beautiful bouquet of white roses that my grandma got me. And there was a delicious sweet table that my dad thought I'd like

I had mine on March 24th.  My bestfriend came down from Florida the throw it for me.  We had it at the Hampton Inn and it was so much fun.  It was tea party themed.  Everyone wore big floppy hats and feather boas.  We had a photobooth and everyone had a blast taking silly pics.  I believe there were about 30 people and to me that was just perfect.

My shower is this coming Saturday... with the bachelorette party that evening (MOH had planned it that way since all of my BMs are from OOT.. unfortunately, none of them are actually coming to the bachelorette party.. just the shower, but at least I'll get to see them for some of the day!) *SO* excited!!

My shower was yesterday. I was kind of fretting because there wasn't anything purchased off of our registries. Turns out my family doesn't like to say what they have purchased. Surprisingly, we only got a few duplicates. All in all it was a great party. My aunt, who is also my god mother, hosted it and the food was delicious cooked by my uncle. DF's family is going to host us a couples shower, but it probably won't be until after the wedding.

My shower was March 24th at a restaurant, and I was soooo surprised my cousin got me there with this fake story that I fell for. It was a Sunday so I wasn't prepared had on sweats no make up or anything!! My mom brought clothes for me to change into and makeup was thrown on me!! But everything was great there was about 40 people a mix of family and friends.  It was amazing couldn't of had a better day, we got a lot of stuff we wanted a few things that weren't on our registry!

There was about 45 ppl there. We played a few games and i opened all my gifts. It turned out very nice nice. thanks for asking

I am having 2 as lot sof my family is in Michigan but friends and my parents ar ein FLorida nad Georgia.  The Michigan one is also close to my fiance's family and they drove in for the day, which was when our mothers met for the first time.  So cousins and aunts and old family friends.  This was thrown by a old family friend and I had no say!  My sister and other bridesmaid are throwing me a Mad Hatter Tea Party next weekend which is for my local friends and a few family types.  Again, I know nothing about it but can't wait.  Most of our gifts so far are off the registry and a few gift cards.  I think it's nice for the families and friends to mix and helps everyone recognize a few extra faces at the wedding.  And the fact that we now have a full cupboard of Fiestaware is just icing on the cake, so to speak!

We have had all three of our showers -- the first was thrown by my office.  The second was thrown by my family at a local arts council.  The third was thrown by his family at am Italian Restaurant.  They were all beautiful and I loved them!  We were definitely spoiled!

There are photos for all of the showers in my bio.
