Shower invites question

Danielle, on June 5, 2019 at 8:11 AM Posted in Parties and Events 1 5
My bridesmaids and mom are throwing me a bridal shower next month. It’s not a surprise so my bridesmaids involve me in discussions of what I like, etc. My sister ordered invitations where we just fill the information in on each one. I am helping with the invites because my one bridesmaid lives farther away and another will be on vacation next week when we want to send them out. So I am going to help my maid of honor fill them in and address them this weekend. Anyways, we want to include that if someone is not a gift buyer, we would love gift cards to Lowe’s for our kitchen renovation. (We are registered at target and Walmart but don’t need a lot as we bought a house last year so the registry is pretty small in comparison to # of people invited.) my bridesmaid suggested we type up an insert stating about Lowe’s gifts are another option, as well as explaining the recipe cards we are including in the invite that we want guests to fill in with their favorite recipe and bring to the shower. I’m wondering how we should word both on the insert or if anyone has any fun and cute ways to word either one?
*obviously we don’t expect anything but I know most people know we already have the house and most of the basics and I’m sure everyone invited (family and close friends) will want to bring something.

    My aunt just put on the back of my invitation "Lowes giftcards are appreciated." Simple enough. I know people do a ton of rhyming poems but not necessary imo.

    The shower is thrown by hosts other than you, so it shouldn't be in 1st person. As Steph said, it could be as simple as "the couple would appreciate Lowe's gift cards."

    I recently went to a bridal shower and they had listed their registries but underneath said, 'help make their house a home, Home Depot gift cards are always appreciated'

    I'd say, "The bride is registered on X. If you'd prefer another option, the bride would appreciate gift cards to Lowes or Home Depot to help with their continuing home renovation."


    My mom did the recipe card for my shower, she put on the back "please fill out with your favorite recipe, and bring it to the shower for the bride to be!"
