Bridal Shower

[JulieG]

I told my sister, also my MOH that I do not want a shower. Bachelorette, heck yes, it will be a lot of fun, but no shower. I am not having an AHR, so I don't think its right to ask people to pay to come to the wedding and also get us gifts. So, no shower for us. That is just a person opinion though.

I don't expect people paying to come to the DW to give gifts and I don't expect people coming to the reception to give gifts because technically they weren't really invited to the 'wedding'. My FI still thinks we should register for some gifts. Doesn't that just seem rude?

I think that the people who will not be attending the wedding "might" want to get you something. SO you can Un-offically register for stuff. Or tell your parents or MOH to tell people some things you mentioned to them that you need. We told a couple people that if they are asked what to get us to either give us cash or a gift card to Home depot. Or send us a check to the rescue group we volunteer with.

I am having a bachelorette party/bridal shower with my girlfriends, am I supposed to send the person who is planning the event our registry cards. I hate the feeling of people thinking I am asking for gifts...

I would actually love that! I'm having a bridal shower on Feb. 3rd and I have mixed feelings about it as well. We'll see how it goes...
