Pretty much every girl who will get an invitation receives an invitation for the bridal shower. The bridal shower is to get the couple started so you get off the registry. Most then give cash for the wedding itself...at least around here. The gifts off the registry people would use for the wedding are more along the lines of the china, crystal and silver. Anything else, like toasters, coffee makers, towels and whatnot are for the bridal shower. You can give lingerie but generally I don't see that other than at a bachelorette party. No one wants to be unwrapping thongs with grandma in the room. No venue on the invitation? Uh...that is pretty much the sole purpose of the invitation...where and when. WTF is wrong with this family of ditzy chicks?

Back in the day when women where child brides still living with their parents and needed all that, it made sense.

I didn't know there will multiple gifting rounds It's effing expensive if you are a friend of the bride/groom. Wedding Shower, Bachelorette Party (which you have to get a gift for AND pay for whatever you're doing) and then the wedding. I've gotten off easy the last three years because my wedding gift to people has been decorating their wedding

Do you think they are chosen to just stand up on the big day and look cute?I just had my bridal shower a week ago and it was awesome. My maid of honor was in charge of it all and delegated tasks to the other bridemaids.It's what they are supposed to do.
