Just for fun!
The worst one for me is that I went to one and all they did is pray and talk about Jesus and how the man is made in the image of Jesus so he rules the house and on and on.
Little uncomfortable for myself since it was a different religion then my own and I have never seen a shower become a bible meeting.

i went to one where everyone brought the bride's daughter a present too!! I DIDN'T! it was odd watching this little girl open all these presents like barbies while her mother (third marriage) was getting pots and pans.
i'm glad i didn't bring her anything, but it happened AGAIN at her mother's baby shower. my mother and i brought the mother a gift, but everyone brought the girl (really, 8 is not that young...) a gift too.

That's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. That must have been really awkward.
To be honest, I've never actually been to a bridal shower. I'm the first one of my friends to get married, so there haven't really been any to attend until this point. Luckily, one of my bridesmaids has experience in this department because she was a bridesmaid for two cousins of hers in the past year. She even threw a shower for one. They all keep asking me what I want for mine and I don't know what to tell them other than I'm sure whatever they come up with will be perfect. I did ask one thing. Since I wasn't able to choose pink and brown for my wedding colors like I originally wanted had I not been restricted, I want my shower to be pink and brown. Thankfully, none of them are over zealously religious, so I don't think what you mentioned will happen!

One where I was made to feel uncomfortable because the gift I took was only a silver frame. Everyone else had bought hugely expensive gifts. I always thought the gift for the shower was just a token, but apparently these people thought different. The mother of the bride kept making snide remarks all thru about the bride being worth nice gifts from people who care.
To make matters worse, this bride, had a combined 21st with her boyfriend....a month later their engagement party, one month later, a kitchen tea, less than a month later the shower AND a pantry party where we were all supposed to bring food items to fill their pantry and fridge, and then the wedding....all in less than 6 months. Then they had a house warming, just after getting back from their honeymoon. I was sick of buying them gifts, I gotta tell you!!

Mine was quite uncomfortable, your in my area, so you know that most of the time showers are surprises, so the bride doesnt get a say in the guest list. My wedding was very very small, 54 people, and only immidiate family and aunts and uncles and cousins, small. My MIL invited quite a few women who were not invited to the wedding, it was terribly embarrassing for me. I dont know why she did it, if she didnt know any better or if it was some ploy by her to get these women invited, but I just found that so tacky and rude of her.
I smiled on the outside but I cringed the entire time on the inside, afterwards I asked my mother what she thought, she just smiled and shook her head.

Dumb party games! One of my best girlfriends had the worst one I've ever been to. She had a dual one and invited all the men as well. We had to play all these stupid games with toilet paper and wrapping them up like a mummy. Bridal Bingo and I spy something wedding related. The guys were miserable. We had to play complete the sentence and some weird version of the Newlywed Game where we all asked her questions about him (and reverse) that the family had come up with. Half were just embarrassing stories and stuff from so long ago that the majority of the party was excluded. AND some of the questions were a bit vague so my friend thought they were a sexual question. She shared serious too much information.
I have never been so eager to leave.

My shower was to be catered by a very nice resturant in town. About an hour before the shower, the resturant caught fire. We had to call all the guest ( who were on their way to the resturant) and tell them to go to my moms. Where we had the party there, we were unable to have food because well, we had about 30 minutes to get everything together.

my opinion is that i think bridal showers are dumb. to me, it's just another way of getting more gifts.
i did everyone a favor by NOT having a bridal shower, and they just gave me gifts at the wedding. i'm really not that greedy.
wanna know a bad one? how about the one that i was invited to, but was never invited to the wedding...LOL. talk about shallow and greedy ;)
