My daughter has a house and doesn't need anything- a friend of mine registered with her travel agency and gifts were made to their honeymoon which I thought was a good idea... Any ideas of what could go on the shower invitation to describe this situation??

Dear Nander,
Mothers are not supposed to be involved in the shower plans. So, hopefully this is not the case here.
Many are now opting for the gift-less shower due to the 'double gifting' with weddings--shower and wedding gifts. Most modern day brides do not need extra assistance setting up her home as it once was in the past, which seems to be the case with your daughter.
All of this aside, if your daughter is hosted a traditional gift giving shower, it should be one that involves gifts that can be opened and shared. Cash 'type' gifts are not appropriate. So, there shouldn't be any mention of the honeymoon registry. Contributions would be for wedding gifts and not mentioned in any invitation.
Also please note, that although these registries are now viewed as appropriate, many guests find them distasteful and may not give anything. So, your daughter may find that guests do not contribute anything.
Additionally, showers are optional and are hosted by either a close friend of the bride or one of her attendants.
