Bridal-shower woes
Hey guys, I have a little bit of an issue.
One of my bridesmaids and my FH’s mother (and my own mother, if she can fly out) are most likely going to throw me a bridal shower before my wedding. The thing is, FH and I want to take an amazing honeymoon and are registering on honeyfund.com to be able to do that.
My question to you is…what do women typically bring to bridal showers as gifts? I’m assuming they buy an extra gift off of the registry to give to the bride beforehand and then another gift for the wedding for the bride and groom, but I’m not really sure. Do I create a separate, bridal-shower-only registry? There’s nothing we really want to ask for besides money for the honeymoon, lol. And I don’t want to create a shower-only registry only to have wedding guests buy from that instead of honeyfund.
I guess I would like gift cards to places to buy honeymoon clothes from, but it seems silly to register at Victoria’s Secret or something. I don’t want other people buying my lingerie, haha.
Thoughts, tips, suggestions? I’m really lost on the protocol of these things. Thanks in advance.
My friend has a baby shower coming up next month, and I could not be more thrilled for her! She is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful people I have ever been around. Not only that, but she is really clever and funny and one hell of a dancer!
She married her hubby in the summer of 2008, when I was pregnant with Grace. She was so upset when she saw me because I was barely showing! And then, she was pregnant with her baby at my wedding reception in November! We are kind of kindred, in that way I guess.
So, next month I am going to her baby shower, and I want to get her something amazing. But I also want to get her something she wants. And I need to keep my amazing, needed gift within budget. That last one is always the killer!
I have a lot of opinions when it comes to showers and gift registries. I had someone print off my Macys registry for my wedding, take it to WalMart and buy me things I asked for. I am not joking. Instead of the stainless steel Martha Stewart measuring cups I registered for, I got plastic lime green Farberware measuring cups. There was a whole gift basket of things I wanted from Macys that I received from Walmart!
