My husband and I are hosting his sister's outdoor wedding and reception at our home.
The wedding shower is 2 days before the wedding at the end of June. I have not received an invitation, except that my mother-in-law who sent out invitations, told me verbally that I was invited. The shower is a money shower, which I totally disagree with. I've been working on a signature quilt for the bride. The bride is nearing 50 and says that there's nothing that she and the groom (nearing 60) need and therefore will not register at a dept store. They just bought a lot and will have a house built to move into Jan 1.
Do I attend the shower or not? If I attend the shower, I'm not giving any money. From what I heard there should be more than 50 people at this shower! I'm just appaulled at how this whole thing has gotten out of control!

I agree the shower is not proper in any way. Money is never requested and is not a proper shower gift. Family doesn't host. There are too many guests invited. And, the date of the shower is too close to the wedding date.
Unfortunately you weren't invited, so it wouldn't be polite to attend. But, this is a 'good thing' in my opinion. I wouldn't want to be any part of it.
Not Invited?
