bridal shower for a bride who is all ready married
Hi,
My best girl friend's son is in the Marines. He was married about 2 months ago where he is stationed. His mother and I would like to do something similar to a bridal shower for his bride. They will be having a small reception when he returns from Afghanistan. Neither of them have been married before, and did not live together before they were married, so they really have not set up a household yet. Is there a way we could give her something like a shower that would be appropriate?
Thank you very much.

Showers are given before the wedding, with the guest list comprised of those invited to the wedding. In this case, it would be best to just allow family and friends to send gifts if they choose. Even though guests aren't obligated to send a gift when they are invited to the reception, and not the wedding, I'll bet most will want to send a gift. Ask the bride to create a wedding gift registry which can be disclosed to family and friends when they ask.
Please extend our gratitude to the soldier and his bride for their service and sacrifice.

I agree. Any type of gift giving event for a couple that is already married, would be in poor taste. The reception is a great idea and very appropriate. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
