Snow Skies and Bridal Showers

How's everyone's Saturday so far? So far so good for me too. It's a little cloudy and grey today but I think November is supposed to look like this- steely grey snow-looking clouds, orangeyellow leaves barely hanging on, hoping that the next gust of wind doesn't steal them away. (I told you I wrote bad poetry hahah)

Today I'm going to a bridal shower for an old friend from high school. I like bridal showers, but I'm not quite sure why brides have more than one... isn't that just a wee bit greedy? Of course, brides don't host their own showers, their friends/family/sorority sisters/crazy cousin Janice/ host the showers, but brides don't exactly say "Oh no, darling, one is enough!"

Naturally, I'll change my tune when it's my turn.

But I'm just curious- what is the protocol for multiple showers? If you are invited to many for the same bride, do you bring a gift each time, or do you bring one to the first one and let that be it? And what about bringing a gift to the wedding? If you've already showered her (ok, them, but it's not really about him though, is it...) with gifts at the shower, do you bring yet another one to the wedding?

What would Emily Post say? To many brides, that question is akin to "What would Jesus do?"

Let me know what you think.

Nuptially yours,

Nay
