(Backstory)The mod of WW's mother is getting married for the second time.  She wants a shower, but they have too much stuff.

I thought this was a fabulous idea-we are always talking about what type of shower would be great for the folks who already have too much.  ~Donna


You know, they like wine.  Maybe I could host a wine tasting party w/ appetizers and finger food.  Everyone could bring two bottles of wine - one for the couple and the other for sharing w/ the group.  It could be a couple's thing so that could make it fun.   I hate stuffy womenfolk gatherings.

    GREAT idea! Love it! I turned down a shower because we have so much sh*t. But I always love wine and having it on hand.

    Well, instead of asking people to BRING their own wine, the host/hostess could ask for suggestions of everyone's favorite wine, and then purchase some for a wine tasting. I admit that I really, really dislike potluck showers. Potluck get-together, that's one thing. But you just don't host a party (especially one where people are already kinda expected to bring a gift because it's just that kind of party) and then make everyone bring their own food. The only bridal shower i've ever been to was thrown by one of my BMs for her friend's wedding (one of my other BMs), and it was a potluck shower because she couldn't afford to host it properly. And as if that wasn't bad enough, she actually made everyone contact her beforehand and let her know what they planned on bringing, so she could decide whether she thought that was acceptable. UGH.

    Also, in regards to the OP, I might have a small problem in that I wouldn't know the first damned thing about what wine to bring or what would be good, because I don't drink! lol
