I have a friend in the process of buying his first house. I just told him I'd heard of the 'stock the bar' party & thought it would be fun. Although I've also been planning plenty of future parties at his new house and plan on drinking some of those beverages. Although - I think it's different when someone else is hosting it, too.
I do think the dorm shower is a bit weird - unless as someone mentioned it's in place of a graduation party.
