oh hai!
My bff lives in Texas and is going to be in town for 4 days in January. I'm throwing her a shower for about 15 people since we all won't be able to make it to Texas for a shower.
Anyway, my problem is wording. Is there a good way to ask people to not bring big heavy gifts and instead to have them shipped, or do I have to individually call them and tell them that? I don't know all of the guests so I'd have to put some of that on her mom. I assume people would know better, but still.
I was thinking of making it a 'virtual' shower where people all buy stuff online to ship to her and then bring something fun and creative to represent said gift (a picture, drawing, miniature model, etc.) so she doesn't have to pack all of it back to Texas, but I don't know if that's too drawn out and complicated or if people will think it's weird, etc.
Help? Suggestions? Am I nuts?
