I was just invited to a shower for a wedding this fall and along with the registry cards, was a note that said something to the effect of:

'Due to the large number of guests, the bride requests that gifts are sent directly to her home.'

Now at first I am thinking: 'Wow, that means it is probably going to be a big wedding.'

Then I thought it was presumptuous to assume that people would be happy about paying shipping charges.

Finally I thought, 'Well if everyone DOESN'T bring a gift, what are they going to do at the shower?' How many bridal shower games can you play? Shoot, we only played one at mine and you could barely consider it a game.

Would this make anyone else ?

Strange things go on at showers now-a-days.
I knew someone who did that and had a DJ at the shower and basically just had a party...She opened all of the gifts at home,,

I dont like that....the gifts are the fun part....!

You're right--strange things are going on with showers now-a-days.

FH is a VFW member and he bartends a lot of the parties when they rent out the hall. He does plenty of bridal showers and he always tells me that they've all been like regular parties--boys and girls, dj's, people wasted and no present opening...

I think opening presents is the fun part too!
