Anyone know what I am talking about? It's a story (or maybe a poem) that uses some key words like Joy (dish soap) and Cascade and then the bride to be opens up a bottle of Joy and a box of Cascade (dishwashing detergent.)

If anyone knows it, could you post it? Any other ideas for a wedding shower gift would be appreciated too.

THANKS!!!

Here you go... :-)

With this poem, give the bridal couple the products mentioned (in caps, below) as gifts as you read the poem.

You ALL are getting married.
It’s the DAWN of a new day!
So we have gathered things and thoughts
To help you on your way.

It doesn’t take a WIZARD
To know happiness awaits
As you enter a new ERA
After all your wedding dates.

And even now we can BEHOLD
The BOUNCE that’s in your steps,
As you approach your daily tasks
With optimistic pep.

You may find your new ROOMMATE
Might not be a MR CLEAN,
But he will fill your life with JOY
Like you have never seen.

So don’t send out an S.O.S.
If dust accumulates,
For when it comes to married JOY,
Then dusting can just wait.

RESOLVE to PLEDGE yourself to love
Then SNUGGLE without end
And a CASCADE of happiness
Will pour on you, dear friends.

LOL I don't know! Maybe that word shouldn't be capitalized. :-)

Roommate is an air freshener by Glade, I think.

Julieboo,

Are you looking for ideas? My mom did something neat for me and I loved all the things I got.

In the invitation she also included a little note stating that everyone bring their favorite kitchen item. Everyone had to explain why it was their favorite. I got various things such as soap, cheese grater, potato pealer, aluminum foil....

My favorite was the salt because of the story. The lady said that her mother always told her that salt was a sign of prosperity and good fortune and that no household should ever be without salt.

Here's another idea, Julie...

When my friend's sister held her bridal shower, in the invitations she included an index card so that each attendee could write her favorite recipe on it. The recipes were then put in a basket at the shower. One was drawn for a door prize, and all of the recipes were put into a recipe box for my friend to keep.

Oh, and as far as a gift goes, if the girl is registered anywhere, GO THERE and see what she wants and get her something off of her list.

At my shower my mother-in-law and sister-in-law got me some totally off-the-wall stuff (I think they must have thought it was a personal shower) that I really didn't want and I had to be polite even though I was ready to strangle them for their ignorance. (They are not known for their thoughtful gift-giving skills. But that's another topic...) I know the saying is don't look a gift horse in the mouth and all that nonsense, but I'll never forget that.

for my husband's birthday one year, his present hadn't arrived in time. so the kids and i got a big piece of cardboard and many candy bars.
we wrote a note. whatever you see in ()'s was done with a glued on candy bar. i used to have a photo of the poster, but i can't find it, so don't remember all the lines...he used scissors to cut out the candy for the kids and left the wrappers on to take it to work and show his coworkers.

dear (CHUNKY) dad and momma's (GIANT SWEET TART)
your (WATCHAMACALLIT) will be late this year. (UNO) we still love you and think you are worth (100 GRAND). and not just on (PAYDAY), but all the time. sorry if we sometimes make life feel like a (ROCKY ROAD).
hugs and (KISSES)
your (THREE MUSKETEERS)
i think there were probably about 15 to 20 candy items on it.


i love the wedding shower ideas. it makes it so much fun to give things out that way. i used to do joke ones for 40th birthday parties with an 'over the hill' theme. i wrote a poem and had all the things to go with it--metamucil, beano, pepto bismol, correctol, hair dyes, AARP magazine, etc.

Another good shower idea is the Around-the-Clock shower. On the invitation, each guest is given a time of day (could be a specific time like 1:00pm or general like morning, noon, evening). The guest brings a gift according to the time they were given. This was a lot of fun, and the bride got a lot of unique gifts. The most creative were the gifts for late night times.
