First of all... Mark, can we block that girl from the other post?
2nd- Megan... I understand what you mean. People might have wanted to come but couldn't or didn't get an invite. I would probably go the b-day party route.
3rd- I opened a late shower gift last night and I had to share. I wasn't that excited until I opened the card. It was from my friend who couldn't make it to the shower.

The part that made me cry was that she and her mom did the embroidery on the bands based on my wedding dress. They are plain towels in the store!
