    My FMIL is throwing me a shower.  My mom is throwing a separate one without a theme.  FMIL, however, was relentless about coming up with the perfect theme.  She came up with the idea to do "Linens & Lingerie" which sounded super cute!  I was all excited, until she started talking about all of the crazy games/favors/ideas she had that started to sound like a raunchy bachelorette party (she is quite eccentric).  I started to worry that I would get a bunch of lingerie, and the reality of the situation is... we really need stuff for our house!  So... I told her my thoughts and she was totally find with it.  We went on the search for the perfect theme so that she could have fun planning, but we would still get the items we needed from our registry.  We liked the 'different times of the day' shower, where each person gets a different time on the invitation and they have to buy something from the registry that you would use at that time of day so you get well rounded gifts.  We came across "Around the House", where each person gets assigned a different room and they then choose a gift.  Perfect!!  Such a cute idea!  We found these invitations.  My FMIL ordered them and said they turned out super cute!!!

     

    Has anyone else had a themed shower similar to this?  Did it work out well?

    We got them at dorianns.com  

    They did offer them on other websites we've found, but the pricing was more than double!  I would highly recommend them.  DoriAnn herself emailed me with the proof.  There was an issue with one of the colors and she emailed me at like 10:00 p.m. saying that she personally checked on it, and that it was fixed.  They were shipped in a matter of hours after the mistake was fixed.  Ordered Sunday, arrived on Wednesday.  

    I just randomly found them online, but I will DEFINITELY use them in the future for other stationary!!
