Hi Ladies,

So this will be my second wedding but my fiance's first I have a few things that have been bothering me and looking for advice on how to manage

1. Can I wear a veil?

2. His family is insisting on a bridal shower (which I don't mind) is it appropriate since I had one for my first wedding?

3. Is there a way to word invitations to some how state just your presences is requested ( no gifts) for those invitees that were at my first wedding?

    1. Absolutely

    2. I think so - you're still setting up a new home with your FI.  I'd just be minimally involved, let them plan it, and be gracious about the whole thing.  But yes, go for it.

    3. No, and doing so wouldn't be appropriate either.  No mention of gifts ever goes on an invitation because (technically) couples aren't ever supposed to expect gifts from guests.  Besides, if I'm going to be honest, I'd probably ignore your wording and give you a gift anyway.  Most guests *want* to give a wedding gift - 2nd wedding or not.  Don't worry about this.

    I think maybe you're overthinking it a little bit.  This wedding has nothing to do with your first wedding, and it's going to look funny if the decisions you make are based on the first wedding.  Plenty of 2nd time brides have weddings that are identical to a first time bride.
