If I had been invited to a "dorm shower" I think I would have printed out the thread where Titchou, me and some others talk about how to drink in college, handed it to the guest of honor with a box of Alka-Seltzer, and walked out. Seriously, if you have already blown your graduation $$$ that's your own stupid fault. It makes it seem like someone going away to college is deserving of more than someone who's staying at home and commuting, or someone who's immediately starting work.
This topic brings a tear to my eye, making me think of my mom and I sitting and picking out my sheets and towels in the Sears catalog. I miss my mom.
What about the Good Stuff boxes in the dorms? Do they still have those?
Re housewarmings, well-bred people usually bring food or booze without it having to be stated. That's a given.
As far as showers for non-first time brides or moms, it really depends on the situation. My old roommate is getting married again next fall and the other bridesmaids and I probably will throw her a shower, simply because 1) she pretty much got nothing in the divorce, not that there was a lot there in the first place 2) she never had any shower or big wedding the first time around. I can't think of anything that makes me smile more than the thought of getting her nice matching towels and a gravy boat.
