I am the bride and I will be getting married in April. There are a few people that are wanting to host bridal showers for me. The thing is, my soon to be husband has been living out on his own for a while and we have most of the everyday things needed for a house. The things that I hope to get at the bridal showers is my china. How do I let people know that we do not need towels, bedding, and things like that - that I would rather have my china.
Shower gifts are supposed to be the least expensive gifts because these guests are also expected to give wedding gifts. China is typically expensive.
Register for what you want and graciously except what is given to you. If you receive something you don't need, you may return it or give it to someone who does.
It is viewed negatively to have more than two showers hosted for you. All of these guests are also invited to your wedding, so it could appear as if you are trying to garner 2 wedding gifts for all of your guests. Be careful when accepting offers.
