Bridal Shower!

[DavidsWife]

Yet, another question!

I know that My Bride's Maids will be holding a Bridal shower for me! Which Iam very thank-ful for, and excited!

They have asked me what it is I would like for gifts!

As most of you know David and I live together and have everything that we need!

This is what I was thinking I would ask for (To prepare me for the wedding)

Gift Certificates?

Such as...

-Trial run for my hair/ and possibly the day of the wedding
-Trial run for make-up and day of
-laungerie

That sort of idea! I would assume that these would come nin Gift Certificate form...

Is there anything wrong with this? Should I not be asking for anything?

If this is ok, how would you word it? or would you leave it up to the BM to spread this by word of mouth?

Thanks!!!

Since they have asked you what you'd like, I think it is okay to say something like, "we really have everything we need, but I'd love gift certs to my salon or some fun lingerie"

Keep in mind though, depending on who is invited to this shower (FMILs often are, for example) that not everyone may want to do a gift cert or be comfortable giving lingerie. If you can give a few other ideas ("We love candles" or whatever) or even set up a registry it is a good idea to do so.

And yes, you let the BMs spread your requests (or your registry info) by word of mouth when asked. Although I think it is not inappropriate to include registry info in an invitation to a shower, since the point is to shower with gifts. However, the invitations should be coming from the host(s), not you, and the wording would be up to them, unless they ask you for help.

One of the salons I was looking into actually has the option of a registry so you can look into that or have them make it an "intimate" apparel or items shower. I went to one for a 2nd time bride and everyone bought her lingerie, bath stuff, candles, romance stuff. I thought it was great and it was spread via word of mouth.
