I think that's totally okay.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Steph, totally.
Glam, it's adorable!! Love it. Way to go, Glamwife!!
Went out with a couple of HS friends tonight - it had been at least a decade since I'd seen one, and almost two decades since they'd seen each other. We had a good time catching up, and the two hours went too quickly, but the place closed at ten and we were all clearly tired. I think bumping up my Zoloft is really zapping my energy, so I guess it's good I did it over the holidays.
Bed now. Tomorrow I get to see amyth!!!! And I hope Calli! And many other friends. Yay.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Send a small gift and skip the shower? Is that okay?
Oh yeah. It's more than okay.

I vote okay. An invitation does not obligate you to send a gift, IMNSHO.

Oh, on the shower thing, I agree with Vortex. No need to attend or even send a gift unless you want to. We included a few people in our shower invites that we were like, "Should we?" We did because we didn't want anyone to feel left out. But several of them RSVPed no and did not send a gift, which was absolutely fine. You should do what makes you comfortable. There will be many people showering them with gifts, I'm sure.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That's lovely, GC!
Steph, yeah, I'd go with a gift and card.
I made it home! The first plane required extra equipment to push it back through the accumulated snow and slush at the gate as well as de-icing, so it left late. That led to a mad dash through the Atlanta airport to make my connection just before the door shut. I offered the poor 6'6" bastard in the middle my aisle seat as a thank you to the travel gods. It took 20 minutes of wandering to find my car in the long term parking lot and my luggage has yet to show. But I don't care--I'm home!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
God, I felt so bad for all the holiday travelers with this awful Xmas weather. We got really lucky; Iowa and MO were cold as fuck, but clear driving.
Tep, card and giftie are fine. I wouldn't fret a whit about it.

Send a small gift and skip the shower? Is that okay?
Totally okay. I do agree with Beth that the motivation behind the invitation could well be "we'd like to see you again" rather than "we'd like you to give us a gift," but either way, you're under no obligation to go, or even to give them anything.
Glam, that portrait is amazing. Way to go, DW!
Glad you made it home, Calli!
Our holiday was great: lots of quality time with our families, a viewing of The Hobbit, plenty of good food (my god, we have so many cookies and candies left), and everyone got in some good baby snuggles. The only bummer was that Rosie came down with a bad cold, which she's now given to me. Christmas was actually the worst day of her cold -- she spent a few hours screaming -- but at least we had our parents there to take turns rocking her and trying to soothe her. Today M is keeping her at home while I'm off at work. I just hope they're not both miserable by the time I get home tonight.
