Microfiber spa towel are great for a wedding gift, since many couples would enjoy the better shower with nice beautiful towels.
Yes, it is appropriate for a bride to invite guests to her bridal shower but not the wedding which is being held in Vegas because the bride would realize that most guests may not be able to afford the trip to Vegas or they do not have the time. A shower gift would be appropriate and perhaps when the bride and groom get back from their wedding in Vegas they may have a small reception where the rest of their family and friends can attend once they are home from their honeymoon. Whether there is an event or not a wedding gift is etiquette in this particular scenario.
It is proper etiquette to only invite people to the shower who will also be invited to the wedding. If the couple is having a private ceremony with only family, then only invite family to the shower. If they are eloping and not inviting anyone, it would be safest not to have a shower because those at the shower would be expecting a wedding invitation.
Yeah, I would.
You can, of course, but a great deal of tact will be required since it's only human nature for those not invited to the wedding to wonder how you reached the decision to invite others and not them.On the other hand, there could be resentment if you invite friends to neither the shower nor the wedding!One idea might be to make it a special shower, maybe with champagne and good finger food, and explain privately to each person not invited to the wedding how bad you feel at not being able to fit everybody in, but there simply isn't room.Perhaps you could give them, privately again, a small gift - a keepsake - of the wedding and suggest that once you're settled following the honeymoon, you'll give a simple, intimate party just for them. Do this before the wedding, otherwise it might appear to some that you feel they're upset and are simply trying to pacify them.
It's the thought that counts not the amount.
If a bride is having a rustic or vintage type of wedding it would be very appropriate to use a lace wedding invitation. Or if the couple likes lace alot they can use it.
A staff memo would be appropriate to request staff contribution in order to get a wedding gift. A text message sent to all the staff would also be appropriate.
A place to hold it. Refreshments are a nice touch, and it's apparently fairly common to have wedding-related party games.
Yes. That would be proper, after all, you are not getting married.
When you go to a Bridal Shower then you give a gift and it's not considered a wedding gift. The Bridal Shower is a celebration for the Bride-to-be. Yes, you would place money in the wedding card box at the reception. Only put the money in that you can afford because the bride and groom should appreciate any amount.
Ideally, the bridal shower would be held 1-2 months before the wedding, but there is nothing wrong with it being held more in advance, or less, provided that the bride can attend.
The color of the bride's underwear at any wedding is up to the bride. She decides what to wear and, and that includes what she believes is the appropriate color underwear.
