She said bring no gifts — because she had them all picked out.
My family maintains fairly simple tastes. My stepbrother got engaged to “Sharon.” Her family had a similar background to ours, but business success means they now live very extravagantly, and Sharon never lets us forget it.
Sharon gave us each a pad of stickers and a pen. She explained that we were to “browse” the table and put our name on a sticker to “affix to whatever gift we wished to give.”It was the most uncomfortable event I’ve ever been part of. My mom and I took one tour around the room and quietly left. Normally the maid of honor hosts the shower, but this seems to have been planned by the bride and her mother – also bucking the norm.
