Lingerie, kitchen, and linen showers for the bride are giving way to travel, hardware, and electronics showers for the bride and the groom. The next time you're invited to a wedding shower, it just might be a shower for two. The savvy hostess (or host) plans the party according to the couple's lifestyle, possessions, and needs. To aid guests in choosing appropriate gifts, a theme might be chosen to suggest the type of gifts to be given. |

ideas
(excerpted
from
Present
Perfect) Start a home library for the couple by hosting a "Book Bash." Give a dictionary, a medical handbook, coffee-table books, cookbooks, home repair manuals, audio books, a reading lamp, bookends, and bookplates. (See Bookworms.) Host a "Home Improvement Happening," with gifts of painting supplies, hand tools, power tools, ladders, a wheelbarrow, a shop vac, and a wallpaper stripper. (See Homeowners.) Bid farewell to the traveling duo with a "Bon Voyage Send Off." Pool your resources for a contribution to the travel fund, or give luggage, a voltage converter, travel guides, luggage tags, a travel iron, a money belt, an electronic word translator, a travel journal, an opisometer (map meter, distance wheel), or a portable water filter. (See Travelers.) Focus on fitness with a "Fitness Fest." Gift ideas include a pedometer, a personal stereo, exercise equipment, a club/pool/spa membership, exercise videos, and motivational tapes. (See Fitness Buffs and Runners and Walkers.) Schedule
a "Sights and Sounds" shower. Give compact discs, videos,
cassette holders, cleaning and maintenance supplies, and gift
certificates from an audio/video store or to a movie, concert, or the
theater.
