So how do you get through to people that it's possible to have a shower, even an Event shower, without taking on debt to rival the GNP of France?
My shower/bachelorette party was seeing The VaVaVoom Room show at Fez, with my sister (who was also my MoH). She bought my ticket and drinks, and the whole night came to about $40.

Jessica, have you tried scratching the soles with your keys?
(couldn't work the link, btw)
And I agree, Bride should NOT have chosen where to have her shower. She should have been more sensitive to other's financial situation and she told me this as well in the conversation we just had.
And Happy Anniversary, Jess and Ethan.
(BTW - they're (Bride and Groom) REPUBLICANS. That might explain it. :) )
Jess, happy anniversary! You two seem to be great together, plus insanely cute.
DH and I were only together for 7 years before we got married. No shower for me.
That might have had more to do with my not having a MoH, though.
I can't see your shoes, Jessica (Happy Anniversary)
Hello all. I'm finally posting to b.org because I'm really, really bored at work and Susan isn't going to kill me for posting (at least, I don't think she will....)
Hi, honey!
No, not killing you. Just haven't been around for a few hours because I was A) paying bills, B) writing thank-you notes to contest judges, C) mailing the products of A and B, and D) getting more ibuprofen for the baby girl.
And as soon as she's down for her nap, I'll disappear for another hour or two to deal with Writers Conference Drama (no editors/agents disappearing this time, so I'm only tangentially involved), and start work on my big battle scene for the WIP.
Oh, weird -- Google put a whole lot of extra crap in my link. Here it is again, for people too lazy to scroll:
The VaVaVoom Room
(And DUH, obviously you meant the shoe link. That's ninewest.com, model "Accolia" in black leather)
Happy Anniversary to Jess and Ethan! I remember meeting you both for the first time at the Chicago F2F in the bar. You two arrived later and things were already in full swing and you looked befuddled to be back in Evanston and in such different circumstances.
Hmm. This ties into my theory about conservative policy-making, which is that they legislate for the world they want to live in in the belief that this will cause the world to live up to it.
That's a very rough idea, and actually B and Groom seemed quite nice when I met them. Just thinking here.
