Re: [SoonToBeMrsT] Greenback Shower for Honeymoon
[In reply to]
Dear Asking for Cash,
Registering for honeymoon items is considered proper for wedding gifts by some--never a shower. But, many guests find it tacky and presumptuous, even for the wedding. I have heard from many who simply don't give anything and from many couples who are disappointed that they didn't receive anything from their guests. Guests are becoming gift poor and are beginning to revolt. So beware.
Doing it greenback??? What is that? Do you mean asking for cash? That is never appropriate.
A shower is never requested by the bride, but can be accepted. You wouldn't be planning this and neither could your family unless they are attendants. So, the person who hosts it could include your registry of tangible items that can be unwrapped in the company of the guests. Many who have all they need are opting for the gift-less shower. This may be a very good option in your case.
