Mrs. Shikra asked for our opinions on whether we would like to have a baby shower or not and thats exactly what I gave. I wouldn;t feel comfortable having one and I don;t feel so great about attending them either. As for bridal showers, I prefer dholki’s to get together and have fun almost the same thing sans gifts and games, but again the basic idea is having fun.
Again if these are things you have seen while growing up and everyone around you has had showers thrown for them then I can see how a person would want to have one for themselves too.
