IS it ok to ask for money not gifts at your wedding shower, to help finance it?
Its a gay wedding, our parents are not helping.
Office etiquette and baby showers, wedding showers etc?
I am somewhat of a newly wed and have worked with a certain office for a few years. The year before my wedding our office manager threw 2 bridal showers one for a second marriage like mine and a baby shower for one of the new brides. When I was getting married and preparing for my wedding I made it clear our wedding was small and family only. I was hurt beyond belief that I didn't also get a bridal shower like the other girls.... I will say that I have always been cordial about work and keeping a distance with my personal life. However... I didn't invite my office to our wedding due to the fact I simply couldn't afford it. I mentioned this to a colleague of mine and she was mortified when I brought it to light. I think office's should either celebrate everyone or NO ONE. Is this a fair request?
Pakistani wedding shower, cultural differences, and making myself look like an idiot?
I received a bizarre request in e mail once, and I'm curious to see what you think of this.A Pakistani friend was getting married and her bridal party e mailed the NON Pakistani friends a grand total of 4 of us and said that it is tradition for all of the women at the bridal party to dance for the bride. Then they made up this great idea for us non Pakistani girls to do a " choreographed" Pakistani dance routine by ourselves. They said it would be a " great laugh" because we wouldn't know what we are doing and that would be the point I guess for the rest of them to laugh at us . They proceeded to link a few youtube videos on what Pakistani dancing looks like and told us to choose one so that we could learn it and then perform it. Oh and there was also instruction on where to buy Pakistani attire clothing for the occasion.I think of myself as pretty open minded to different cultures, and I certainly understand that they might be doing things a little different at the shower, BUT to me the e mail just screamed " we want to laugh at you stupid white people, it will be so funny when you guys make complete as.ses out of yourselves." I must say that the e mail completely turned me off from wanting to go to the shower. I guess that is close minded of me. But I am rather shy, especially in front of a large group of people I don't know, and especially when I am not sure what is culturally appropriate behavior and I don't want to disrespect anyone. But having to learn a dance routine?? Doing it only with the non pakistani female guests? AND having to go out and buy Pakistani clothing that I'll never wear again? It was a bit too much for me.Thoughts?
3 wedding showers for the same bride-to-be ?
.I was invited to 3 separate bridal showers for the same woman she is a relative on my husband's side . What is the rule of etiquette as far as bringing a gift to each shower?
Do I need to send a shower gift if I'm not going to the wedding shower?
Because of medical reasons a super bad back that can't withstand a long car ride , I can't attend a friend's wedding shower. What's the etiquette here? Do I still need to send a gift to act as a shower gift which I wouldn't mind , or do I just wait and give a gift at the wedding? Seems that if I don't send one, she's missing out on an extra gift. Advice?
Anyone know of alternatives to a wedding shower for a gay couple. My idea was housewarming party? Any others?
My friends just moved to my town and bought a new house. Normally a couple would get married and have a wedding shower to help start them out, but they can't get married in TX, so a shower is out. They're not really into the idea of a commitment ceremony and having a " wedding" shower without really getting married, but I would like to host a party of some kind to help them get started. Are there any other ideas for alternatives to wedding showers? Maybe something less austentacious than a wedding shower, but more personal than a housewarming party.
How do you feel about wedding showers, baby showers, housewarming parties?
Lol, just wondering. It seems like my wedding shower was just a day ago but it must have been at least two years ago now. I wonder if someone will throw me a baby shower, I felt like a bit of a moocher at my wedding shower, actually.Yea, I guess they're not all bad. We had fun anyway.
How do I word a wedding shower invitation when I am asking that the guests pay for their own food?
I am throwing a wedding shower for a friend of mine that will have us at a restaurant. We have about 25 people coming and there is NO WAY I can afford to pay for everyone's food. How can I word the invite so as not to offend?
I am the maid of honor and I need to plan a "personal wedding shower" for the bride.?
First, what is a personal wedding shower and what all do I need to do in order to have a great personal shower for her? Just give me some pointers that would be GREAT
What kind of gift am I supposed to give at a wedding shower?
I'm going to a wedding shower this weekend that I don't particularly want to go to for my cousin who I barely know and I don't know what I'm supposed to get her. Do I get her something off her gift registries at Kohls or Target or is that just for the wedding gifts? Help please $15 25 is the perfect price to pay for me. She has some picture albums and frames on her registries that are about that price. Would that be a good choice?
Wording for "gift card shower" wedding shower invitation?
The guests are close friends and already know that it is a gift card shower.
What are the guidelines for wedding shower/wedding gift giving?
I will be attending a friends shower as well as their wedding. Should I give a small gift from their registry at the shower and a bigger gift at the wedding or just one gift at the wedding?
Am I ethically expected to bring a gift to both the wedding and the wedding shower?
I have a friend that is getting married in the next couple of weeks. She is having both a wedding shower, the wedding and a baby shower the day after her wedding. I normally would not think twice about getting more than one gift for a friend, but it has started to seem like the two of them don't really care to hang out with my husband and myself. They rarely invite us to hang out with " the group" anymore and when we are invited, it feels like we are the outsiders. Does it seem like I am being selfish or cheap thinking that I may not bring more than just a card to the bridal shower? I am pretty broke right now too am I etically expected to bring a gift to the wedding shower and the wedding? I really don't know how any of this works at all.
Wedding shower questions?
My maid of honor is throwing me a wedding shower this weekend, and another friend is throwing me a lingerie party the following weekend. My question is, am I supposed to buy the hostesses a gift as a thank you for throwing the shower? I'm already putting together goody tote bags for the bridesmaid and I included this good friend because she's helped me sooo much with this wedding SO do I get them a separate gift on top of the bags? And if so what do I get ? ? Thanks We're also on a very tight budget. I'm making goody bags for 5 girls, plus gifts for groomsmen and flower girls, and ringbearers We're paying for most of this ourselves. So YES I should get them something, does anyone have any ideas of smaller gifts? I can't afford anything over $20 $25 each. Thanks
