Shower Weirdness

So, my coworkers want to throw me a Bridal Shower. However, I couldn't invite all of my coworkers to the wedding. I'll feel totally guilty if people buy me gifts who are not coming to the wedding.

    I think I'm going to be faced with the same wierdness!

    A friend of mine, from work, had the same situation and insisted that she didn't want one and instead suggested just going to lunch.  We all took her out to lunch and just gave a simple toast.

    Ditto, I would suggest going out to lunch to your co-workers who offered the shower.

    Well, we can't do lunch because we're all teachers... and the e-mail invite has already been sent! Oh well. I expressed my concern to my coworker who is arranging it and she told me not to worry. We'll see how it goes!

    We threw a simple shower for our coworker who got married last summer. We did it because we like her, not because we wanted to go to the wedding. Now did we expect to be invited. We had a great happy hour, and got thank you cards for our gifts and we loved the time spent together.

    I have a friend who had a small wedding at her house last summer.  All her coworkers knew it was small and didn't expect to be there.  They wanted to throw her a shower to celebrate with her, so they did.  I was in the wedding so I was invited as well.

    If they understand you can't invite them to the wedding and they still want to celebrate it, be gracious and say thank you.  It means they care about you!

    But why wouldn't you serve ice cream with the cake?
