My fiancé and I don't really want to register for the wedding we would like to kindly ask for cash instead of gifts.

However if we do that do I need to register for my bridal shower? My mother in law also told me I should register somewhere personal for me like Victoria's Secret .. what are your thoughts? What is everyone else doing for the bridal shower ?

    You registered for lingerie for your shower? I can't even. @Soraya, your bridal shower is meant to feather your home. You get things for your home and they shouldn't be consumable. That would be incredibly embarrassing to open massage oil and/or lingerie at a shower that isn't a specific lingerie shower. Why? Why? Why?

    "There are really great ways to ask for cash, really thoughtful ones actually"

    Oh - like a cute poem? That doesn't make it any less rude or tacky. Don't ask for cash. In any way.

    @Kate, to go with the lingerie and massage oil and bath bombs! I do not understand the lack of consideration of etiquette for registries. I need to find my old registry etiquette post and bump it.

    Do what makes you happy, Stefanie. If you want lingerie, you can have a lingerie bridal shower. I've been to one. A bridal shower is to shower the bride with gifts, I've never heard it is for home gifts...it's for bridal gifts. If I want bath bombs, cookbooks, teddys and robes, that what I'll get. If you want spatulas and pans, that is what you'll get.

    These are all woman, if someone gets a thong, not a big deal. I didn't register for it but it would be funny, (not the end of the world).

    Oh FFS. There is NO nice or appropriate way to ask for cash for any occasion. Don't ask for it for the shower, don't ask for it for the wedding. Gross.

    There's no nice way to say give me money. Just don't register or I see a lot of people who ask for donations to their favorite charity in lieu of gifts.
