Wedding Shower
wedding showers – it is proper etiquette for the Mother of the bride, give a wedding shower?
It seems to me that the Mother of the Bride, giving a wedding shower, seems a little over the top – like a ‘gift grabbing’ affair. After all the parents of the bride are footing the bill for an elaborate wedding, and also giving a wedding shower seems just too much, in my opinion. This is to be done by friends or bridesmaids; the maid-of-honor, etc. not the Mother of the bride. What are your feelings?
Neither the Bride nor the Bride’s Mother nor the Groom’s Mother nor any of the sisters or sister-in-laws should host (plan, organize, and pay for) a wedding or bridal shower. It is a form of solicitation and inappropriate. And if the Bride’s sister is the Maid of Honor then she should delegate all of the planning and organizing responsibilities to one of the bridesmaids (who is not an immediate family member).
Just recently Yahoo Answers had a question about a Bride insisting that her bridal shower be held at her house, she wanted to control the whole event. She wanted to make sure that she was going to get a lot of presents so she created the guest list and mailed out the invitations.

Personalized Wedding Announcements, Wedding Invitations, Wedding Shower Party Invitations Cards
Custom Wedding Announcements, Wedding Shower Invitations Cards The idea of weddings has been around since the beginning of human civilization. What may have initially been a way of strengthening relationships between two tribes has grown into a symbolically eternal union between two people. The first culture, at least on paper, to recognize the idea and legality of marriage was the Egyptian culture. Early Egyptian rulers would keep things in the family when it came to marriage, often taking sisters and daughters as wives. Curiously enough, the Egyptians are also believed to have developed the concept of the engagement, which they saw as an important period of time for the couple to get to know each other and see if they were a good fit for each other. Wedding Invitations Announcements were not used for many years later.
Egyptian weddings were known to be fabulous events, full of food, music, and dancing. Over time, the idea of marriage spread to other countries and other cultures, with each one seeing the benefits of such a legally recognized union. Today, weddings are an integral part of just about every culture on Earth and Wedding Announcements are always used.
When the day comes for you to get married, the only thing more important than the site of the ceremony and the reception will be the style of wedding invitations and announcements you will select. In fact, perhaps no other event requires more cards than a wedding does. Initially, your wedding will require cards that announce your engagement, an event that will more than likely be celebrated with an engagement party. Recently, engaged couples have used the engagement announcements as a more relaxed and informal way of announcing their future marriage. Wedding invitations are usually more formal, and thus, engaged couples often choose to have more fun with the engagement party invitations.
Besides engagement party invitations, you will eventually need Wedding Shower Invitations, wedding invitations, and plenty of thank you cards. There is a great deal of tradition and etiquette associated with weddings and marriage in general. It is important that you choose the wordings and phrases that will appear on your wedding invitations so that you do not offend any of your guests.
Many online stores have extensive experience in developing wedding cards and invitations that reflect the personality of the happy couple. They can create formal and fun cards, or cards and invitations that combine both. Whatever the message is that you are trying to send, friendly and professional staff can help you say it the right way. Your wedding is supposed to be a special day, full of fun and memories. You will have plenty of things to worry about as the big day approaches, from the flowers and the flavor of the cake, to the design of your dress, the music, and the guest list. Let someone take at least one thing off of your plate. You can use special photos and images, as well as phrases, verses, and wordings that are special to both of you to create a unique and customized series of wedding cards, announcements, and invitations that will make your wedding day as special as it should be.

What kind of gift am I supposed to give at a wedding shower?
I’m going to a wedding shower this weekend that I don’t particularly want to go to for my cousin who I barely know and I don’t know what I’m supposed to get her. Do I get her something off her gift registries at Kohls or Target or is that just for the wedding gifts? Help please!
$15-25 is the perfect price to pay for me. She has some picture albums and frames on her registries that are about that price. Would that be a good choice?
Yes, get her something off the registry. The bridal shower is specifically to shower the bride with the things she will need in her married life, and her registry is a list of things she thinks she will need in her married life, so it’s perfect.
About $15-25, depending on your budget.
