Shower Invitation Etiquette

Shower Invitation Etiquette

Hi- I know this has probably been posted before, but need your girls help! My friend's mother needs a way to tactfully state on the shower invitation that the couple really has everything, but would love $ for the HM. Any ideas on wording? I kind of told her this is never done, but is insisting on it!!! HELP!! TIA!!

Re: Shower Invitation Etiquette

I personally think that it's bad etiquette to mention that ANY kind of gift is more WANTED than others. I think that you friend should do her registry at a place like BB&B where she can get cash back for her returns

Re: Shower Invitation Etiquette

Offhand to request $ is quite a no, no, but you can register for contributions for the honeymoon on www.honeymoonwishes.com and choose other things you want as well....then they can just put this site in the card....

WOW. I am in the same position. FH and I just moved in together and we already have to do a yard sale for our duplicate. We really just need $$$

Re: Shower Invitation Etiquette

There is no tactful way to ask for money. I think that a honeymoon registry is probably the best solution.

Re: Shower Invitation Etiquette

Thanks for the replies!!
Much appreciated!

Re: Shower Invitation Etiquette

A honeymoon registry is a great idea, but she probably will still get a LOT f blenders, etc, because that's what people ae used to giving!

Re: Shower Invitation Etiquette

maybe suggest something like 'Gift Cards Welcome...' That way they can save them for later when they need something. ort maybe 'Supermarket Gift cards welcome' I dont get offended by the cash thing but there are def. people who do. Good luck
