Shower advice
T and I have been "adopted" by our friend's family. Friend moved out of town last year and her family is always really awesome, inviting us for holidays and such. Friend's sister is getting married and I was invited to the shower/bachelorette by friend. She said I didn't have to bring a gift and I get the feeling that I'm not a guest guest (I don't think we're on the wedding guest list) but more invited to hang out with friend since we don't get to see eachother as much now. She called to invite me a month ago, I didn't get a formal invite.
I found the registries and I feel really weird going to the shower and not bringing a gift but I don't want to make the bride feel uncomfortable since I don't think we're on the wedding guest list.
We're close enough to the family that I'm not bothered about going to the shower and not the wedding. (I have a feeling that we're on a B list since we're close with the family but not so much the bride and FI)
Would you bring a gift and would you spend the same amount that you usually do? I'm leaning towards bringing a gift, but a smaller one that I usually would. I'm curious about your opinions though.
Re: Shower advice
I'd bring the same shower gift as if I was invited to the wedding...since I give separate gifts to the shower and wedding.
I'd bring a gift, either normal or smaller depending on how I felt the day I was buying it. I'm sure either will be fine.
And it might be because it's 3am here and I'm getting silly, but when I first read your title I thought you were asking for advice about showering. I was prepared to offer you valuable information.
3am? What on eart are you doing awake at 3am? Woke up early or never went to sleep?!
LOL! I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I read it and immediately thought, "I definitely advise you to shower." But I was pretty sure that posting that would just be too dorky of me
