How should I go about this..?
My amazing Matron of Honor wants to throw me a Bridal Shower in her home. She's keeping me out of all the planning details, as she wants this to be relaxing for me, but wanted to know about the gifts I'd be requesting. We have, however, decided we're not registering for gifts, as our home is already well established.
My FI's cousin put in an insert in her wedding invitation about a Wishing Well Wedding, and I have used the wording and shaped it a little and am adding this to our wedding webpage (As I Have Read Inserts In Wedding Invites Are Not Following Proper Wedding Ettiquete)
Note: I didn't see anything wrong, nor did I take offense to his cousin's insert, I actually thought it was well done and tasteful, but that's just me
Anyways, my question: How Do I Address The Lack of Registry Issue For The Bridal Shower?!
*I'm asking in the local board because I think you ladies have great advice, and, well, sometimes things that happen in S FL don't really work elsewhere. I hope you ladies don't mind..And Thank You!

Re: How should I go about this..?
I agree.... I was not planning of having a shower though my Best Friend through me a Surprise Shower. My home was too well established considering that we have been living together fo over 10yrs. So I have a habit of always doing Wish Lists especially in VS so my DH can pick something from there whenever he felt the need to buy me a gift & she sent that out. Needless to say, I have Lingerie & Bikini's for a few years. Plus at the wedding everyone brought us envelopes to where they needed to empty out out the Chest twice.
Word of advice, if you go that route, please, please, please make sure your Matron of Honor knows your sizes to pass along to the guests. If you aren't sure or its been a while since you've been fitted, take 20-30 minutes to go to the store and do so, that way you can be sure to enjoy your gifts.
Also, what about decorations from Pier One, Marshall's, etc? Or do you have a hobby that the guests could get you supplies for? I make jewelry, and since my FI and I have also lived together, we don't need a lot of home goods, I might suggest jewelry-making supplies if I get thrown a bridal shower.
Thank ladies!
One other question - does she include this on the invite, or verbally tell guests. I hate asking for stuff. The way I saw it was having my close girls around and making a nice, relaxing day of it! No gifts necessary!
