This former A+ list tweener actor turned A-/B+ list adult actor is someone all of you know and a podcast subject. He recently paid for the entire bridal shower of the best friend of someone he is dating.
Showers should be thrown by friends, and the actor was doing something nice - something that doesn't materially benefit him. But doing it for a soon-to-be DIL is the same as doing it for his son. Tacky
The purpose of a shower is to "shower" the bride with gifts. The f-i-l-to-be is immediate family (father of the groom), so he's asking people to give presents to his son and his son's wife-to-be. It looks like a cheesy gift grab.

ReplyDeleteWell, these are cases of girlfriend's BFF and FUTURE DIL...I think both of our cases qualify as kind generosity.

No. Members of the couple's immediate family (sisters, mothers and grandmothers) shouldn't host showers, since the whole point of this particular party is to add to the bride's trousseau, and your families shouldn't be the ones asking for presents on your behalf. Non-related bridesmaids, friends of your mother or your fiancé's mother, or more distant relatives generally assume the hostess duties."
