how ca i ask them?

Question

I am egyptian and we have different cultures than europe people, in weddings and bridal showers. we dont get presents to bride except when we go to congratulate her in her house after the honeymoon.
now i am traveling after my wedding, i will be living in emirates , that means i wont see anyone after the wedding, especially that my house in egypt is not yet finally finished and we wont be staying in it at all.
so how would i ask my friends and family to get me my presents in the bridal shower coz i wont be there later?
am embarased to ask them, how can i ask with no embaressement to anyone?

Talk a lot about moving . . . but don't mention the presents.  To say "bring your gift early" would be rude.  To say "you know I am moving" is not.    

Just let word of your move get around, and people will do the right thing.

discuss your plight with someone majorly involved, your mother, matron of honour etc. explain you dont know how to solve it, not how can you ASK for presents at a different time than your culture depicts, and leave it at that. once they understand your predicament, they will spread the word, they may not have realized the problems that are involved. Dont do any more yourself, it will be seen as being in poor tatse

I would speak to whomever is holding the bridal shower and see if they can't handle this delicate situation for you.
