What do you think of wedding showers?


Traveler

Recommended Posts

I've always found wedding showers to be a bit offensive. For me, getting an invitation to one seems like the couple saying "You're not important enough for us to be invited to the wedding, but give us a present anyway!" Baby showers are a bit different. I don't mind going to those, to help with the new baby, giving baby toys, clothes, etc., but I'm don't go to wedding showers. How do you feel about this?

It really depends... these days it seems like most people (most of the people that I know anyway) already have all the household things they could possibly need. If it's a young couple just starting out that don't have anything... I'm a bit more generous... That being said I've never been to one that people were not actually invited to the wedding... from that standpoint I absolutely agree with you.

Baby showers... It's been ages since I was invited to one and I had a nice time... it was the first baby for the couple and they did not have everything they needed so it was nice to be a part of it.

And finally... if I do give you a gift (particularly if you registered someplace and told people not to go off the registration list)... and I don't get a thoughtful handwritten thank you note in the mail... it's the last gift you will ever see from me.

Same here.  Although fewer and fewer people follow strict etiquette and traditions anymore, the shower is supposed to be given by the bride's close friends.  (I don't know how that works with gay weddings -- maybe a combined shower and bachelor party? :c0531:)  If the friends are close enough to be giving a shower, then they should definitely be invited to the wedding.  If there are extenuating circumstances, like unusual size restrictions at the wedding venue, that's a whole separate set of questions ... and quandaries.

Yep.  

We did it the easy way (or the easiest way I could figure out)... no showers... no gifts (the six people that we invited had to fly to Honolulu) I rented a house for them to share near Waimanalo Beach... where the ceremony took place in the water (shin deep) everyone wore the swim costume of their choice and we had a lei for everyone... the reception was at La Mer (in a private room) at The Halekulani Hotel.

i didn't think men were invited to showers. You're supposed to give the couple a shower gift and a wedding gift? There's a name for that, and it's called Greed. You could always just decline to attend the shower, and gift the wedding.

Sometime around 1993 or 1994 Bridal Showers became Wedding Showers and were for both genders... I liked the old way better but we have to change with the times.

Well, that's the crux of the problem for me. When I've been invited to Bridal showers, it's when I've not been invited to the actual wedding. The attendees at these showers are usually people not invited to the wedding. But gifts are still expected, despite the obvious slight of not being invited to the wedding.
