@ Baby shower related - which is worse?

[madringal]

Molly Sims apparently had guests "write letters to her son for different ages". Apparently he will have a letter to open on each birthday until he is 50+ years old. This was in order to "spare" her friends from horrible baby shower games.

Personally, I hate showers that have homework. I hate bringing a reciepe card to bridal showers, making onesies at baby showers, and I would be really mad if I had to write a letter to a middle aged man.

WDYT? What is worse? Suffering through games or homework?

Homework is worse - hands down.

Both equally terrible. I really like come and go showers.

[mrst2]

Sounds awful.

That would be awkward because it's not like you can write your letter based on their life because it hasn't been lived yet. I would have no idea what to write.

[amity]

Yeah, that is a terrible idea.

I feel like a dude is definitely not going to appreciate the sentiment. I mean, I am imaging a 15 year old boy opening a letter from his mom's friend and being like, "wtf?"

both are bad - but homework is worse.

[slug*bug]

That's a terrible idea.

What is with having to do activities at baby showers? There's the obligatory gift-opening, which seems to always kill a ton of time at the showers I've attended. Why isn't that + mingling w/other guests sufficient?

And how about being assigned any number greater then 21. What the heck do you write to a 37 year old man? Or 42? So weird and creepy.

homework is worse and I agree w/ Madingral-creepy.

I really loved receiving recipe cards at my bridal shower. But it was a family-only one. I would have been embarrassed if my friends were asked to fill them out.

Homework is horrible!

[newsgrl39]

homework is probably the worst then games... but also being asked to bring diapers instead of a card is beyond annoying... so instead of getting a $2 card to got with my giftt, i have to spend $10 on diapers? grrr....(sorry i just got an invitation with these instructions on it today and its got me miffed) -signed chick who does not have kids yet.
