out of town shower - 02/19/03 04:33 PM
My sister is going to be a grand-mother!
My niece is having a baby and she lives out of town. We are planning a shower for her in our town and then a sister and another niece are heading south to deliver the goods.
Any idea on the best way to do gifts? They are flying so they can't take big items, or wrapped items.
We were thinking of having the people attending the shower pick something from a registry and give us a check. Then my sister and niece would purchase the stuff when they get there, wrap and give it to her. That sounds so impersonal for the people giving the gift though. "Yeah, just hand over the check!" Know what I mean?
Any ideas on how to make it more fun? We love giving showers and want to make it fun for the poeple attending!
