I was invited to a bridal shower for this Sunday. I only received the invitation last Wednesday as did others. I had to change a fitting for a wedding I'm in so that I could go. Now I am looking at the registry and there are only odds and ends left. Like placemats and a cupcake pan. What should I do?

That's a good idea. I didn't want to bring a pile of random things.

hmm sounds like some invites went out ahead of time. How could all go that fast! How about getting some things for the house like nice candles, cleaning supplies, etc. There are some poems for that. Or you can make something for the honeymoon. If it's a beach honeymoon get beach bag, suntan lotionetc....

That is annoying. But I like to give monogrammed bathrobe with 'Mr.XXX' on one and 'Mrs. XXX' on the other.

Or another idea is if they dont' live together put together a basket of kitchen essential: ketcup, mustard, salt pepper, all the starter things!

Not sure if they went out ahead of time or if everyone got them last week and panicked! Those who I talk to all got their invites last week.
I like the idea of making something up for the honeymoon. We actually did this for a friend of mine. We purchased her luggage and filled up on suitcase with clothes and toiletries for her honeymoon.

i would definitely go with a giftcard or buy her extra towels, you can never have enough towels make her a basket with towels, maybe bath gels, loofas, candles etc.

Re: Frustrated
No, they didn't but that is a great idea. I think I'll stick with a gift certificate and something small.

Well I hope for the bride's sake, that only some of us were last minute and not everyone. Her FSIL sent out the invites so I think it's a surprise.
