A good friend of mine is married to an active duty Marine, so they move around a bit. Both of their families live very far away from where they are currently stationed, so having a family shower wasn’t practical, at least not one at their own residence.

What they decided to do was travel to each set of parents house, where each family had organized a “Family Shower” for them. They also had a shower at their home for their friends.

They ended up having to pay a little to have the larger things shipped home, but in the end, they really enjoyed it…

Was it worth it?

I dunno, 2 round trip tickets from California to Oklahoma, then two round trip tickets from Oklahoma to Virginia…plus all the shipping…they could have probably purchased all the items themselves, and saved some money…but they really enjoyed getting to share the event with their families.

Another option, if your family is closer together, is flying out to the furthest, renting a Uhaul, and driving to the closer one…and then driving home.

Where are you located and where are your families located…maybe we can map out something that will work!
