Hi there! My mom's best friend is throwing me a bridal shower and wanted a list of people to invite. We are having a very small DW (parents, siblings, wedding party and that's all). Should I invited my extended family and other friends who I am not inviting to my wedding, to the shower? I need a single present, as my Fiance and I have lived together for almost two years, so the host was going to put presentation on my wedding shower invite, as we are saving for a new TV for our basement. I don't want people to feel like they have to buy me anything, especially if they are already coming to my wedding, and paying so much money. I don't want to seem like a tacky bride, but I really do not need any gifts. Thoughts?

This is a really tricky situation.  It is always hard to ask for money and most of the time pretty tacky.  People will get you gifts no matter what you tell them, its just human nature.  What about doing a registry for a few things you have wanted to replace or a few things you dont have, then at least there are some ideas for people.

I am in a similar situation although we do need to upgrade some household items.  I looked into the honeyfund - it is a cash registry disguised as a honeymoon registry.  Just pick out excursions, massages and such so people think they are contributing to that but really you get a check in the mail or by Paypal, then make up a story of how much fun you had doing whatever.  I know that it is not honest but whats the difference between them paying for a scuba session vs a tv?  Sometimes what people don't know won't hurt them.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
