I thought a personal shower meant you bought lingerie and other sexy items. I had never heard it being called a personal shower until some friends from Oklahoma told me that's what they call it there.
Yes we call it a personal shower here You have a bridal shower where you get the things you registered for and then your personal shower where you get pretty lingerie, etc. I actually did receive a dildo at my personal shower :/
Interesting...I assumed lingerie shower too. Lingerie showers are very common around here during bachelorette parties. The last one I went to, the mom and FMIL were there AND FMIL picked one that she thought would be her sons favorite. Shit got weird that night...
I came in here to say something that has been said 3 times, so go ML. I just wanted to add that a friend, for her bridal shower, asked for makeup and skin stuff. She registered at Sephora. I mean, it's fine? whatever. but I thought it was weird.
You can register at Sephora?! Time for our vow renewal.
If they really don't need anything, a nice card outlining your donation to their favorite charity might be appropriate. I know very few people as fortunate as these two, who need nothing at all.
Right?! I just can't get over this. I know it's really not a big deal and none of my business, but if you don't need anything...YOU DON'T HAVE A SHOWER. This is second marriage for both of them, the guy is loaded, and this whole thing just seems more "gift grabby" and less "celebratory."

It weird and a little tacky but it's better them straight asking for gift cards and cash. I think I would get cute beach stuff like a bag, hat and flip flops .
