What is a Wedding Shower?

I read that a wedding shower is to shower a bride with gifts? My stepmother and grandmother have decided to throw me one, but I really have never heard of the term until now. lol So I am lost. My fi and I have been telling people in liu of gifts they are welcome to donate to the honey moon fund. But...

I read that a wedding shower is to shower a bride with gifts?

My stepmother and grandmother have decided to throw me one, but I really have never heard of the term until now. lol So I am lost.

My fi and I have been telling people in liu of gifts they are welcome to donate to the honey moon fund. But they are not expected to get us anything at all but a smile. We have lived together for three years and lived separately before hand so why spend money on things we don't need.. So is showering us with gifts the purpose? Any way around it? Yes I know I sound crazy for not wanting free gifts, but the monetary things dont' really matter. It's about friends/ family/ and us.

Are wedding showers/ bridal showers just for girls?

They have asked me for a guest list and addresses. I don't know who to invite. haha

And they are asking me if I need China? Why would I need fine china?!

LOL any advice would be super helpful to me as a new bride to be. Thanks!

    In general, I would love to see what Emily Gilmore would say on WW.

    FFS you donate to a charity, not to an unnecessary vacation. People need to quit saying "donate" and "honey(moon)fund" in the same sentence. OP, it is rude to ask for cash, which is exactly what you're doing. Adults know how to stuff a check in an envelope without you telling them. Cut it out.

    Wait what? You told people to give you money for your honeymoon??? You definitely need fine china for family holidays and special occasions, like an amazing homecooked anniversary dinner with your husband. Fine china is awesome. Where I'm from, if you don't register for fine china, people think you're tacky.
