How rude ... sorry but it just seems like a gift grab to only invite to a shower ... 
I agree! I'm having a small wedding and no shower. I wouldn't feel right asking people to buy us gifts and not inviting them to the wedding! Seems absolutely rude to me.

I was wondering when I was going to see one of your posts! LMAO ... I was having issues logging in ... like many of us ... and just said "Eff it!" For a little bit ... As for the shower coming and going ... I'd just let it go ... what can you do now right? You can't really ask for the gift back ...  Or ...

| Okay, first, I am really glad I read this post. Second, now I have a question for you ladies. I'm having a shower in June in my hometown. I really wanted this, not because I want the gifts, but because I'm not getting married in my hometown but there's many people there that I wanted to include in the celebration and this was the only way I knew how to. To have a social or a "bridal tea" would confuse everyone. It would eb VERY out of the norm. So a shower it was...But, I had never planned on sending many of hte people who will liekyl attend my shower, wedding invitations. But only because around here we just throw the shower announcement in the paper and whoever comes, comes. Only immediate family, bridesmaids, and very, very close people get a phone call. Plus, when it comes to the actual wedding, the ceremony/dance get announced the same way. You formally invite those that are very close and near and dear and coming to the dinner. Everyone else just knows to come when they see the add in the paper. But since I'm not getting married in my home town, there won't be the ad in the paper for the ceremony/dance. So, does that mean, anyone who comes to my shower in June, I should add to my wedding guest list??? I don't mind doing this, as I don't expect many would come since the wedding is taking palce 6.5 hours away from my hometown, its thanksgiving long weekend, and the number we know will be attending from our guest list is getting smaller by the day anyway. So do you think that's what I should do??? I should add that my wedding invites aren't going out until late july.

| I did have this situation and found it tacky... *sigh* I did however send a gift to the shower... it was a concrete "X" & "O" that were candle holders and some candles... Turns out the Bride phoned the day after and thanked me profusely... said it was the best gift she recieved. I spent $12 dollars...
I thought about inviting her to mine... but what's the sense. I didn't like it so doubt she would either.
