Have been considering throwing a "power shower" for someone – max time of 1 hour.

My wife doesn’t. If she goes to your shower you can feel special, cause it ain’t often. I think guys should get a wedding shower, ya know tools, gardening equipment, fishing/hunting equipment. While we’re at it, if you guys have avon and "avon-type" parties — Why don’t we guys get together, cook some ribs, drink beer and pass around a Cabela’s or Summit Racing catalog, that would be cool.
Sometimes.
Depends on who it’s for and how well I know them.
Baby Shower-yes
Wedding Shower-not really
what’s a power shower?
I love baby showers, they are great. So many cute little tiny things.
Only if it’s someone I’m close to, but I think it’s rude when people do open houses or a really short one. It’s like they only want the gifts not the people.
If it is someone I am close to then I usually enjoy it. If it is someone I don’t know very well I generally see it as a chore and a social obligation. I’ve never heard of a "power shower".
I think baby showers can be alot of fun if they are for a good freind. Wedding showers I dont usually like.
My mom is throwing something like a powershower it will be two hours just a small lunch (salad) and then gifts we are not planning on doing games other then maybe bingo as i open gifts because we dont want people to be board.
Yes I do, it’s really the only time I get to see most of my friends. Baby showers mostly, so I won’t feel weird bringing my own kids. Plus most of my friends are competitive so they like to outdo the previous party with something better. so it’s always something new at them
EDIT: although I don’t like it when they are so close together, it gets expensive.
yeah they’re okay.
I don’t usually like to go to baby showers just because I hate standing around making small talk and watching the clock.
No, and most women I know personally do not like to attend them either. It’s just an obligation that you have to do. I usually have odd gifts just laying around now that I have a child, because otherwise, it’s always some shopping time involved that you don’t enjoy. It’s not fun playing those stupid games and chitchatting about labor. Anyone who actually remembers labor knows that it SUCKS.
Yes, they are generally a fun time for most that do attend. Some women are just Party Poopers no matter what they attend, and can’t enjoy someone else’s happiness. I think most do enjoy them.
Yes, I do usually like those things, really depends on who it is for.
With close friends and family, of course I like to help them celebrate an upcoming baby or a wedding. Thats what friends and family are for, isn’t it, to be able to share and relish in those special moments of life?
If it is someone distant that I wouldn’t enjoy sharing good news and celebrating with, I usually decline the invitation and send a card and small gift to be polite.
Power shower? Well, do whatever works for ya. Personally, I wouldn’t want to be invited to a shower, fork over a 40 dollar gift, and then be shoved out the door.
I hate hate hate baby showers- so boring
so when I was pregnant I requested something alittle more fun
So my husband rented an indoor playground for my shower
he invited whole families to come, not just the women of the house
We had a 24 foot slide, adult sized moon-bounce, air hockey, obsticle course, etc..
It was a blast!
and afterward, I took less than 20 minutes to open all my presents while guests ate cake, then we all went home.
Everyone had fun, no one got bored, and there was plenty of baby talk, but it wasn’t the only thing people were talking about.
Any type of shower is a chore. I have a hard enough time keeping up with my job, kids and family obligations. I would appreciate being invited to a POWER SHOWER, which I imagine as being like an open house type of party. Show up, drop off the gift, have a piece of cake, pat the baby belly and get the days errands done. It’s nothing personal, it just seems we are all running out of time. I can only WISH that Power Showers become a reality in my lifetime! Sitting around with other women I don’t know, or care to know – is a waste of time. If one doesn’t have a social life, I can see why these events are something to look forward to. The majority of us are just trying to keep up with kids, school, jobs, childrens parties, gift buying, housecleaning, husband pleasing, dinner making and all-around house management. Power to the People! Let’s Power Shower!
