I'm relieved that the projected West Virginia bag doesn't sound like something that will only perpetuate the negtive Appalachian stereotype! BTW, enjoyed a lovely, if conservative, bridal tea thrown by my church choir ladies (all a bit older than I). No humiliation.

By the way: I was born & raised in Wisconsin; I'm temporarily in Minnesota for school, but intend to move back to Wisconsin in a few years. I have never, in my 26.5 years of life on this planet, seen an actual cheese log. Anywhere. Ever. My grandfather also hauled milk and the manfriend's mom's family is a dairy farming family. Yes, they were definitely trying to reach for a theme on that one.

I don't mind a few basic games if they don't require any sort of humiliation of any participants. Quizzes about the bride and groom are acceptable. Really, we're all just there for the cake, right?

It's such an easy mark! And it wouldn't require any ridiculous leaps of the imagination like the Arkansas Diamond Digger. And? The Indiana Road Tripper looks like some chintzy piece of crap that was on sale at Wet Seal in 1998. Sorry. But other than that, cute ideas! Wait…how is there no Texas bag? It’s such an easy mark!

Luckily, when I married a few years later and she was my MOH, she returned the favor. I may be old-fashioned on this one, but six to twelve good friends, a few nibbles, and good conversation seemed the best way to have a shower then, and I still like that version best. A few gifts, a slice of cake or pie, a few good wishes, and we're done. As for the state bags...I fear what my beloved California will become in their tender mercies. After all, poor Wisconson is reduced to a cheese log. When my childhood best bud was getting married and I was her MOH, we agreed: no themes, no party games, no cutesiness for the shower.
