I need very little in the way of "traditional" bridal/wedding gifts. We actually did the honeymoon registry in lieu of a bed bath and beyond thing. The problem is my "bridal" shower~I know my moh wants to throw me one, and im not opposed to the idea :-) Originally, we had talked about a lingerie shower but Ive gained some weight recently and 1) dont want plus size lingerie that will (hopefully) be too big in a year and 2)there arent a lot of options out there for reasonbly priced plus sized lingerie.
So my question: I have decided that I would like to make a brooch bouquet for my bridal bouquet and these things can get PRICEY. So i was wondering if anyone would think it tacky to have my moh throw me a brooch party instead of a traditional shower full of things I dont really need. Im more into meaningful gifts than materialistic and I think making my bouquet from brooches collected from friends and family would be awesome. Am I on the right track or completely off base?
