Shower Invite Etiquitte

Yes, it`s rude. And it`s also rude to be planning your own shower.

I`m involved in planning my shower too, nobody wants me too, but I have to be - it will put my mind to eaze! However, I do feel that it is not appropriate to ask for money. I have seen that people say Gift Certicates are appreciated, I thought that was really cute!

Brides should not be involved in planning their showers. Also, since you (the bride) are not involved in the preparations you shoudn`t know if registry information or requests for cash are in the invitation. Personally, I as a host would not actually write it into the invite, but would certainly help pass the information along via word of mouth.

I just don`t think it is right to ever ask for money. You don`t want to come off as a GIMME BRIDE!!
It is the duty of your friends and family to take care of the shower, as hard as it is, try and let go a little.
You can put a little printed up card in the envelope with the invite that states where you are registered. The only cost for that would be paper and the time it takes to cut them all out.
Have fun!!
