What's "Kitchen Shower"????

2009-01-07T08:42:00.001-08:00

Some of you are asking "What'a hell is Kitchen Shower?!?"

Kitchen or Bridal shower
From Wikipedia
Bridal Showers traditionally involve giving gifts to future wives and grooms.
A bridal shower is a gift giving party given for a bride before her wedding. The custom originated in the USA, although the first stories about these events have been known to originate in Brussels, Belgium around 1860. It remains a primarily U.S. and Canadian practice. Showers are usually coordinated by the bridesmaids, who invite guests to offer gifts for the home of the bride and groom.
N.A.: Kitchen/Bridal shower is common in Brazil too.

We have chosen our gifts in 3 different shops: Tesco, Habitat and Argos. Argos was the only one that offer a "Gift List Service", what means:

Friends can view your list online or obtain a copy in any Argos store - they just need to quote your reference number (444087)

Gifts can be bought online, over the phone or in one of over 680 stores - whichever is most convenient for our friends.

Your list is automatically updated as soon as a gift is bought - which minimises the chances of receiving duplicate gifts!

We are happy to receive Argos gift cards. Please note these can only be purchased in store. Remember to quote the gift list reference number (444087) when buying.

Anyway, to minimise the chance of receiving duplicate gifts from Tesco and/or Habitat as well, we gently ask our friends to leave a anonymous message here to enable other guests to know that a certain gift has already been bought. Tesco and Habitat gift list are still available in the post below.

We still ask that you confirm your attendance. This confirmation helps ensure accurate counts for supplies for the Kitchen Shower. Feel free to BYOB.

Bar & Kitchen Shower Announcment

2008-12-18T15:28:00.000-08:00

Hello folks,

We are back!

We are building a new, lovely, adorable, sweet "nest-cafofo".

This time we're so excited planning our "Bar & Kitchen Shower".
This will help us stock our kitchen with small appliances, utensils, kitchen towels and recipes as well; getting from you nice and smart gifts to our nasty, or better, nest-cafofo.
Yes, I am a lucky girl who's getting married with a "Gastronome Chef". Buuuut, as we know “s’eu cozinho eu como” porem "s’eu cozinho eu nao lavo".

The "Bar & Kitchen Shower” will be on 11.01.09, Sunday, then we need to organize a.s.a.p. the guest and a gift lists to send you the invitation.

R.S.V.P. until 26.12.08, Friday by e mail: osmanita@hotmail.co.uk or by telephone/sms to 075 3384 9526 (Anita) and 079 5719 4784 (Osmani).

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon!

P.S.: If you are confused, we can explain you:
R.S.V.P.: The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.
A.S.A.P.: as soon as possible

We ARE engaged!!
