Hello Ladies!!! I just have a question and would like to here some opinions. Our families are helping us out with the wedding costs, and my FH and I would like to show our appreciation at the rehearsal dinner by getting them a little something....

My fiance and I are getting married October 3rd 2009 and we dont really need anything for our house. Is it appropriate to ask for gift cards? What should I register for? My bridesmaids want to give me a shower but I dont know if I should or not....
