our conversation at dinner on Sunday:

me- 'we got our first present in the mail. I think its a shower present but not sure'

FMIL- 'I'm sure you will be getting a lot soon. Most people mail the presents to the couple instead of bringing it to the shower. At the shower, you get money'

me- 'I think thats for a wedding in the New York area. For showers, its like everywhere else- guests bring gifts'

FMIL- ' I have more been to more showers than you have. NO ONE brings gifts anymore- it's just envelopes'

I have seen the pictures from you ladies that have had showers....and I WANT TO WEAR A RIBBON HAT!!!!
Do you think she will tell people not to bring gifts, and to just mail them to us??

Also, wait..there's another hole in her logic. Does she think people send gifts to the house AND give money at the shower? I mean that would be nice to get double gifts, but it doesn't even make sense.
