bridal shower or ???

Technically it's rude to put registry slips in an invitation. Also... your invitations should be out by now.

Someone else throws a shower for you, you do not give one for yourself.

Sorry if I'm a bit harsh but if you do either of those things people will think you only want them to come if they bring gifts.

best wishes..............

My fiancee and I have been living together for a year and a half, and I opted out of a bridal shower. It's really about what you want. If you want new stuff to replace your old stuff, a bridal shower is a good way to jump-start that. If you feel like you don't need that much stuff, you could not have a bridal shower, and just receive wedding presents. Remember, showers don't have to be about presents. You could just get together with everyone and do something fun.

If you are registered, you should put a notification in the bridal shower invitation (if you want to have one) as well as the wedding invitations. Not everyone on your guest list is going to be invited to your bridal shower, so they won't know about the registry.

Of course you can still have a bridal shower :) it's a good time for the ladies to get together and give you some kinky gifts hehe also because I doubt your mom and soon to be mother in law will go to the bachlorette party so this is something they can be apart of to :)

As for the registry, I think you are suppose to wait and see if they ask but now a days I think anything goes so go with what you feel is best :) It's your day and nobody elses!!

since you are having a small wedding you can skip the shower or maybe have a jack and jill with the guys too before the wedding!

Your Bride's maid / maid of honor is supposed to organise this.

And nowadays there's nothing wrong to include the code + the place of registry in your invitation.

The best thing is to send out the invitations, then afterwards sms (txt) everybody who is coming and inform them should they wish to buy anything they are welcome to go there.

i agree with what bbbara said!

not rude its true....
