Bridal Shower ????

B/T/W this is a SUPER SIMPLE wedding....they don%26#039;t want to be married at the JP or Courthouse. this is what they WANT %26amp; have asked me as the MOH for.....I can%26#039;t tell her no?????


PRIOR ? -I will be hosting a wedding shower for my brother n law and his financee - there first wedding and her family isn%26#039;t contributing to the wedding at all (mind you her mother has passed)...we are now at the crunch time b/c the wedding is 6.21.08 - in planning the shower she has asked for us to have a %26quot;Money Tree%26quot; or something like that as they need to pay for ALL of the wedding - the $$ that they receive will be 100% put towards the purchase of dinner, decorations, and flowers. I understand the situation and have agreed... but have NO idea how to proceed with the whole idea...any suggestions...and NOT NEGATIVE ones are appreciated. I have already been thru the whole its tacky thing...and would like any help that I can get! thank you!!

If they can%26#039;t afford the wedding, they need to make cutbacks or wait until they can afford it. They can%26#039;t expect their guests to pay for it.





However - some people will undoubtedly give cash. You can discreetly spread the word that they%26#039;d rather have cash as well - when people ask what they want, simply say, %26quot;well, they%26#039;re trying to save up, so I%26#039;m probably just going to give money.%26quot;





Good luck to you and them ;)
Reply:Go to the bingo hall and put the gify money down-
Reply:I agree you can%26#039;t really come out and ask for cash, people who want to buy gifts will buy them no matter what. I got a lot of gifts for my shower, but I also ended up with about $1000 in cash too...some people will give cash some wont. We didn%26#039;t request cash and we still got some cash...but there must be some things they need for their home too so I would say make a small registry and maybe people will see they dont need much and give them money
Reply:Seriously, you can%26#039;t do it. There is just no way to get cash from people for a bridal shower. The guests will not show up if they figure out what is happening.





You can have an inexpensive church wedding very easily, so I don%26#039;t understand why you feel the need to repost this item. Use the church social hall for the reception and provide cake and punch. The whole thing can be done very modestly and it will be lovely.





Best wishes!!!!!!!!!
