When I got married, I had one shower from my side of the family, one from my husband's side, and one from my work friends. The key folks (my mom, groom's mom, maid of honor) were invited to all.

But then, I had a tiny wedding with just a maid of honor and a best man. And the reception was in the garage of my in-laws home. And we all peeled carrots and made carrot sticks, celery sticks, dip, chips, etc for the reception. Top class, huh?

But we're still together 30 years later....
