To write down what the bride or mom-to-be says as each gift is opened and then make a funny story out of it? When did these events become a grab-and-go event? I feel sooooo old.

LOL!! Me too, cj!
All the tradition of these things is going out the window. It's more of a "drop-off-your-multiple-gifts" and head out. Some people don't like to be watched? But isn't that PART of the shower and always has been?
I could understand the triplets, that could get taxing for everyone, depending on how many people were invited. But any other situation? No, I don't get it.
cj put it best, "grab-and-go" event. Greed and impatience takes the fun out of more and more situations all the time. It's rather sad.
