I have heard of people donating to a honeymoon fund for a gift for the couple but I am not sure what to make of this one. I received an invitation to a Jack and Jill shower and inside was written - In lieu of a house gift, please go online (URL)and make a donation to help with the wedding photo cost. Am I wrong in thinking it is tacky to ask people to help with your wedding costs?

Re: [dnp] Improper bridal shower gift request?

Dear Dnp,
You are correct in considering this tacky. They obviously did not get the memo that the traditional gift giving shower is supposed to be inexpensive household items that are to be opened in the presence of their guests. We never ask for cash, gift cards, or expensive items. Furthermore, more couples are opting for the gift-less shower due to the fact that they don't need the 'extra' help setting up their households anymore. Unfortunately there are still those out there who expected their guests to give them more than one gift and lots of cash just because they have decided to marry.
Improper bridal shower gift request?
