Hi all! This is my first post, but I just really want to know if my gut is right on this one!
I received an invite to a bridal shower yesterday for an old college friend. I've already RSVP'd no to the bachelorette party and the wedding, and was planning on sending a small gift as congratulations since I couldn't make it.
Until I got this invitation. Not only are her registries listed on the invite, but there is also an address listed for "those who are planning to mail a gift." My brain immediately exploded a little. It felt really gift-grabby, and now I'm thinking just a card sent after the wedding is all I'll do.
I guess my question is, am I right on this one? Is this completely inappropriate? Since I'm planning my own wedding right now I tend to analyze other people's invites (and these boards!) for ideas on what to do and what not to do. Any insight would be helpful! Thanks guys!
Re: Question on shower invite
My friends kept telling me they were coming to my shower, but I had to ask them what the RSVP said to do because I had no idea who I had to tell that they were coming (my friends = way lazy, if they can just text me, they will)
The OP did come off as if the bride were planning her own party. If she is not, don't hold it against her for the host's mistake.
