XP: Invitation wording help

Shower invite wording help

-->
One of our out of town friends' baby shower is going to be held in Buffalo where most of her family and friends are, so my friend that's working on the invite for the shower would like to somehow put on the back of the invite or bottom a reminder that Mom to Be is an OOT-ner and whatever gifts she gets we are shipping back either in extra suitcases or in boxes, mailing them to AZ.  So she was trying to think of a straight-forward but still non-pushy way to say that. Here?s what she?s drafted up?.she wants my input. I feel like it needs to be worded differently, but don?t quite know how. What do you girls think?   If you choose to "shower" Laura with a gift, we suggest something smaller and/or lightweight, as we will be boxing everything up to send back with her to Arizona!   Thank you!

  • The only thing I could think of is something similar such as :

    ......with a gift, may we recommend something smaller or lightweight that will make the journey back to Arizona safely.

    My only concern would be that she'll end up with 50 blankets and no clothes or books,etc. Maybe you could also add some examples of items based on the types of items on her registry.

  • What has she registered for? I suggest taking anything she doesn't want to ship off of the registry so people don't get them and leave it at that. My bridal shower was OOT and it was costly to get things back so I understand what you're saying. Most people knew our situation and some shipped things to us prior. If I was close enough to her to be invited, I'd know her situation and make arrangements accordingly. This might sound mean but if you're getting gifts I think its a bit much to request certain weights when having a party specifically for gifts (though I know she's not throwing it).
