So, I want to hear some great shower ideas; Donna wants to be surprised!!! You don't have to suggest specific places, since we're in Lancaster, just ideas. Also, Donna and Josh really need cash and not stuff for shower gifts. How can I delicately let shower guests know? Thanks a bazillion, girls!!!!!!!! Think hard now!!!! So far, I know Donna hasn't really chosen a theme, but she wants to use in her wedding, beta fish in vases of flowers, the color, burgundy, and she's mentioned lilies, but I don't know what kind; Perhaps she was thinking of the peace lilies in the vases. Also, she loved the teaparty food we had for Debi, but the teaplace only accommodates 20 people, and it was a tight fit. Mary MOB

as favors, you could purchase mary kay items and set up one of those make up tables with a cute poem telling the guests to take an item, or just individually wrap mary kay items.

i am sure you can purchase some items from there that would be suitable and reasonable.

For the money issue.. here is your solution.. HONEYMOONWISHES.COM I used them for my registry and they are amazing!! You sign up on their website for things such as airfare, dinners, hotel nights, massages, jet skiing, surfing lessons, drinks...etc. Guests think they are purchasing those actual items for you however, in the end honeymoonwishes.com sends you a check that you cash and do whatever you want with it!! They charge a 7% service fee that you can choose to either have your guests pay or the B & G can have it deducted from their final check. She can request payouts whenever she wants also. It was the perfect solution for us since we are from Florida and my shower was on Long Island, there were no gifts to have to lug back and forth and my guests seemed to think it was a great idea.. no one knew that I was actually getting check to spend on whatever I'd like. We used the money for our 3rd payment to the RH!!!! FM me if you have any questions!



that is a awesome idea i'm going to check it out.... since we are OOT too and i know the shower is on LI i have been worring about how i was going to get things home.
