Wow! 4 showers!! Crazy, IMO. I had 2 baby showers and 2 bridal "showers". My family lives a little over an hour from my husband's family, and I didn't expect everyone to drive so far. My mother, grandmother and aunt (all my mom's side) came to both for each, but they only got me one gift for the occasion. Not that I would've expected anymore! We had too much crap the way it was, lol.
In fact, I didn't even have a traditional bridal shower. We had already lived together for 2 years and I didn't want to have to sort through a bunch of crap to figure out what I wanted to keep and what I didn't. My husband's family threw me a Garden party, and I registered at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc., for gardening supplies! My family chipped in and got me $150 gift certificate to a local spa and took me out to Red Lobster for lunch. Much better than anything else to me.
