| Why are you planning your own bridal shower??? I've never heard of that.But anyway...I think that is very rude if you do that. |

| i have asked this same question to everyone i know, they all know money is tight and if your like me youll only have good friends and family at your wedding i do not think its tacky, we worded on a seperate insert in our invites that listed the type of dinner we were having and announced we would have a cash bar and then added we would like everyone to know we are registered at target and we will also have a wishing well at our reception to help with our honeymoon. And so far no one has said a thing and thought it was well said. we purchased the wishing well from party city they can put cards and etc. in it. dont worry about other people, believe it or not a lot of people feel better about the money thing bc that way they know youll get more use out of it, you get what you want and your honeymoon is possible. A honeymoon can have lots of cost. goodluck and congrats and dont worry about it! i promise itll be fine! |

| When would you ever have access to your own shower invitation? A shower is given for you and planned by others. Your only involvement is submitting a guest list if asked and showing up when directed. The shower host lists registry info in your invitation. Half the fun at a shower is watching the bride open her gifts. Who wants to show up to watch you open 20 cards saying you got donations to your honeymoon shower? |

| ok, sweetie, i think a lot of people mis understood you (i hope so anyway)when u said if you dont ask for money you arent going - i am hoping you meant not going to be able to afford a honeymoon?? right? not that you wouldn't go to the shower. ...right?with that being cleared up, let me put it this way. when you have a birthday party you dont tell people what to get you or how much to spend (lol-you might with your FH) but friends, etc. get whatever they want to get that they think you will like. like i said when i answered your question about the wording on the invititation - there is a very small very vague line between being tasteful and being tacky when asking for money or gifts. I do empathize with you. most girls have a daddy that pays for the whole wedding. there are a lot of spoiled people around that get what they want because thier parents/grandparents can afford to give it to them. my father died when i was 13, my mother has multiple medical problems (and no $$) and neither my fiance or i have grandparents. we are barely going to afford the wedding nevermind a honeymoon. i can see where this would be a great idea and a good way to afford a honey moon, but i would stick with the websites, and word of mouth. anything else may be too much. |

| You are never supposed to mention gifts on an invitation. It is considered very rude. People will just get you whatever they want anyways. If you can't afford a big honeymoon then just get a room for the night or the weekend. |

| I had a lingerie shower... lingerie for every night of the honeymoon (and then some)While money is NEEDED, I get it, I would tell them tell them where my registry is and leave it at that. Most registries allow you to request gift cards.Just put the honeymoon on a card and worry about it later. You wont feel weird or anything about having to explain that you blew others money on getting your drink on in a ritzy honeymoon-time bar. ya know? |

| No, this is not a good idea.How do you have a shower? What are you going to do...sit there and open all the envelopes?You cannot "register" for money. And, contrary to what others have said...a honeymoon registry is tacky also. There are "catches" to everything...so the catch to the honeymoon registry is that YOU need to pay in order to set it up....OR, your guests need to pay extra for the "services."Please think of things you need for your home...or else forgo the shower. |
