Bridal showers  |
| |
|  It is normal for couple who have been married several times before to have a shower? I'm talking about couples who lack nothing but want it for the sake of gifts. I'm invited to a shower where the couple has been married a couple times each and I live on a low income. Just wondering what mylotters thought.

| |  As they've both been married a couple of times before, and probably have most of the things they need, then I would take them a small gift, like a picture frame to put their favourite wedding picture in. This need not be expensive, as you're on a low income, and it's a nice gesture.
Brightest Blessings.

| |  In common etiquette people who have been previoulsy been married or have lived together before the wedding do not have a shower. Showers tend to be reserved for the 1st married or those who have not lived together before marriage. Sames goes for babies showers, baby #1 gets a shower, the rest do not unless the baby is in a new marriage and the couples doesn't have anything.

| |  As for having a shower for a couple who have been married before would depend on how long ago the couple was married before you mention several times wow can't make up their minds must be a story here.
Anyway for instance my fiance and I are getting married this year. My fiance was married 15 years ago as was I we were both young and very much niave, we decided to have a wedding with some close friends and family to celebrate our union. Because our weddings were both so long ago I see no problem having a shower it gives us a chance to bring "new things" into our marriage rather than using the things from our previous separate lives. It's a new beginning and our family and friends are helping us to start new.
You mention being married several times how long ago were they both married and is this a marriage renewal or a "fresh" marriage?
No one states you need to spend a fortune on a shower gift purchase what you can afford and give the couple your best wishes. You are there to celebrate their union as husband and wife.
They sound wealthy if they are lacking for nothing and want more in the form of gifts...

| | They are not wealthy but they don't need things. They have more than most. My gift to the couple will be very simple as I have a low income. I think if anyone has had a baby shower or wedding shower they shouldn't have another. This person expects it which is sad. If this person doesn't get one it's not going to be fun for anyone involved. If between both they have enough why do they expect more. The only thing that bothers me is they aren't giving people but they expect everything in return. I was just wondering what other myloters thought. | | | |

| | Hi Fedupwithpeople,
If you feel this way why not just skip the shower you don't have to attend if you don't feel they deserve it.
Sounds like you have been knocked by these people you mention they aren't giving people but expect everything in return.
Are you invited to the wedding? Maybe you could just skip out and decline their wedding invitation seems you feel like they aren't the nicest of people.
You refer to "This" person are they single? I am confused you like one of the couple but not the other? | | | |

| | Hi teetee, I like both. Im ivited to both the wedding and the shower. I got my invite yesterday. It's hard giving to some folks when you know no matter what ya do its not good enough. Im on a limited income so i can't afford much. They know but don't understand. Nothing I can do but buy them a little something. | | | |

| |  I think your looking at it the wrong way. A shower is usually where you bring a gift for the bride or new mother to help her with the new life she has chosen. It is called a shower because you shower the bride or mother with your best wishes. It is also a way for one side of the family to get to know the other side of the family. It was normally the women that had showers and the men have stags. Which will bring us to another discussion. Should men be invited to a shower and should women be invited to the stag?
If your are worried about a gift, don't, it's not the gift that matters but the support you show in being there and sharing all the fun there is to being a bride.
Why not plan something else. It doesn't have to be a traditional shower. You can parade her through town wearing a veil and hit a bar for a drink. Something to say "your special".
