Has anyone had a Pampered Chef bridal shower? What did you think of it? A co-worker wants me to have one, but I don't know anyone who has?

    The showers are nearly always requested by the bride and groom and the products shown are typically what she has placed on her registry. It is simply a presentation of her registry- not a sales pitch. 
    A Pampered Chef shower should not be done for a Bride or Groom that doesn't love or want the product line. So it is no different than going to any other registry and selecting a gift based on your budget from items the BRIDE/GROOM have requested.  The people that work at BBB and Williams Sonama also get paid-- just like the PC consultant.

    You can bring gifts of your choice- and then hope what you choose is something the Bride n Groom will like and don't already have.
