    I don't know what an entertainment shower is, so I can't help.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    the gifts we bring her will be for when she & her soon-to-be husband entertain... games, wine, fondue pots, etc.

    Do you know that these are things they want?  And how do you determine which movies or that they don't get 4 fondue pots?

    I'm generally not a fan of "themed" showers.  I'd much prefer to shop from a registry because then I know I'm getting the couple something they've chosen and I know it's something they'll really want.

    Sorry, I don't really have any suggestions, but I think you need to find a way to avoid duplication and give a better suggestion than simply "entertainment".

    Sorry-I just read that this is during a b-party, which makes it even more confusing for me.  In our circle, b-parties are NOT gift giving events.  They are a night for the bride with her WP and perhaps a couple of other close friends.  But any kind of "shower"-entertainment of otherwise are not part of the event.

    if you have no advice for the QUESTION that i asked, then why post? I have no idea why i even posted on here. i've been married for about 5 months now and stopped posting on here prior to being married b/c no one is helpful anymore on TheKnot. Its all about critizing what other people do instead of helping them with what they asked for help with. i just dont get it... every circle, every part of the country/world is different. if you're not a fan of something or your friends dont do that, then just ignore the post.

    we like themed showers. the bride loves the idea of an entertainment shower. & we give small gifts during the b-party.... all our other friends have done the Pure Romance parties during our b-parties and we're tired of that so we're doing a murder mystery dinner and having an entertainment shower during the dinner in place of the Pure Romance party. i just simply asked for help with wording on the invite. the MOH and I can't find anything online so I figured I'd check w/ others. but i should have known better.

    sorry suz, but you don't get to control what anyone writes as a reply.  IA lot of times people toss out ideas, and then when they get replies are happy because it's something that they hadn't even thought about.  Simmer down.

    I know that. And i'm all about people tossing ideas... But a lot of times it's not ideas... instead it's people telling someone they are wrong for doing what they like or what they want to do. that's not helpful, it's mean & uneccassary.
