Yet another shower Question

I asked this b4 but I forgot what we came up with. I'm having my shower in NY but I will be moving 2 FL the day after the wedding, Is it too much trouble to ask for my guest to be shipped to my house in FL or do you think that I should just pay the extra and have them shipped there myself to save ppl the trouble? Another option could be to drive down to Fl with the gifts. The shower is in April and the Wedding is in July.

No i would totally have them ship the items to FL... it will cost you a small fortune to ship all of that stuff yourself...

Im sure people will be very understanding... tell them to print out a picture of what they got you and bring that in place of the gift...

I think it will be okay to ask to have the gifts shipped. I think that people will totally understand and have done that for other friends from OOT. Just make sure its listed on the registry and only the shower invites just to be sure!

Sure - I've been to a shower where we had to do that exact thing. A lot of people order their gifts from the internet anyway, so it's really no big deal to ship it to FL instead of their house in NY. Just make sure it's written in the invitations.

here is a little bit of advice that i totallly didn't think of till i couldn't get a mini van to drive back .

I got some wonderful gifts and stressed about how to get all these wonderful and very large gifts home with a tiny rental car.

I ended up returning EVERYTHING well a few little things i knew were on clearance i held on to.
I had one heck of a BBB and target store credit but when we got back home we went and repurchased it all and then some.
