Young love

My niece is having a wedding shower this weekend, and I was thinking back to when I made a gift registry and thought I knew everything.  Which means that now that I am older I think many things are impractical.  Her mother is a Martha Stewart type who has formal dinner parties so I'm not surprised that she has the items on her list.  I just think that her Mother will continue to have the formal holiday events so there will not be the need for her to do so at this time.   Oh well, personally I don't know where I would put a blender, mixer, dual coffee maker, fondue set, etc and all the items that are on the list without adding on to the kitchen.  We don't have enough outlets for all the appliances she requested.  So I decided to make a funny shower card.  The wedding card I plan to be more traditional.
