Pretty sure this is bad etiquette.

So my FI cousin had her wedding planned for this upcoming October. Her wedding shower/bachelorette party is in early August. The whole family just found out her and her... Husband... Just went and eloped in Florida. So FMIL asked her sister if they were still actually having a wedding shower and accepting gifts, since they were already married. New brides mom replies of course! Except we're all a little put off by the fact that none of us were good enough to be told they were getting married, or good enough to be at the actual ceremony, but we're good enough to go give them gifts?? Also I find it a little strange that she's still having a "bachelorette" party even though she is no longer a bachelorette.. That's besides the point though. Just curious if it typical to elope, then have a wedding shower afterwards to receive gifts for your elopement...?

No. I wouldn't be attending the shower or Bach party. That'd make for an awkward conversation at the Bach party when a bystander asks when the wedding is and she replies, "oh I'm already married!" ..........
