Went to a bridal shower this morning that was actually fun. The guest of honor and her fiance are renovating an old house so we gave her a Big Orange shower. Everyone got her Big Orange gift cards and we brought her to Big Orange for a scavenger hunt. Hidden throughout the store were little charms that said "Love," each of which represented a gift card. She had a series of clues to help her find the charms. The funny thing is that no one thought to explain this to the bride, tell her that each charm she found meant another gift card. I guess she thought, I don't know, that scavenger hunt was just one of those dumb party games? When we left the store and got to the cake, she reacted with such shock to the bag full of gift cards.
The people at the store were good sports about the whole thing. The woman who organized the party talked to them in advance and then went over the morning of the party to hide the charms. They took our picture at the end, and they even got on the intercom and said "Attention, customers! We have a bride on aisle 11!" for us.
