Bridal Shower Etiquette
If the bride and groom are saving for a particular household item, for example a dining room table, is it appropriate to mention it on the bridal shower invitation?

I just had a wedding and have 2 friends getting married very soon and I think it is a great idea. It depends on how casual the shower is. You want them to get what they want, so go for it!

The proper etiquette would be to be registered at the place in which you want the dining room table, etc from and/or ask for gifts of monetary (money) value as your gift instead of actual gifts

Ettiquette states to include the registry information in the invitation. All else shold be by word of Mouth. Or maybe a group of people could go together & purchase the expensive item.

Why not? I think today anything goes. My daughter is getting married and they live in a small place therefore she is asking for monetary gifts so they can buy what they need accordingly.
