Hi,
I'm having a little trouble with this and am hoping for some advice. My SO and I are gifting entertainment services to a nice couple we are friends with. However, I just received an invitation to the bridal shower, and in it, the registry information as well (which on it's own is a whole other topic
). I would like to attend but things are really tight for us right now, and I'm one that doesn't just want to just gift a salt shaker or one pillowcase, but the registry isn't the friendliest to the wallet. To be honest I would have loved if the host (her sister) knowing what we are doing would have put an added note stating that our gift was more than enough, and would just like me to attend, leaving it to my discretion to put a little something special together for her. What would you suggest? Still put a gift outside of the registry together (ideas welcomed!)? Pick something in the middle ground (that expensive salt & pepper shaker or conventional oven lol) then let the pocket weep a bit? Or just forgo the bridal shower all together? And then at the wedding, envelope with card inside reading Gift of Entertainment (LOL)?
Thanks!
