    Grr.  I just called my FMIL and she guilted me into going because this girl is "like family, and you're our family now."  It's hard to argue with that.  We had a good little vent over how rude the cash request was, though.  

    I asked FMIL if I can add to a joint gift with her and FSILs.  At least that's a way to avoid awkward moments when bride opens my tiny gift.

    So, it looks like I'm going to go to make FMIL happy.  It also sounds like this request came from the bride's really rude and overbearing mother, so FMIL pointed out not to punish the bride because her mom is nutso.
    If I felt pushed into going, I would bring a physical gift.  Because that's the point of a shower, and I wouldn't feel even a tiny bit bad about it.

    you could get something not intended for the home. Like, a voucher for them to do something together

    I'd go only bc of FMIL. If she lets you do a group gift awesome, if not give her a twenty and be done with it. I would be ticked and not want to go, but not badly enough to risk my relationship with FMIL. GL!
