I am throwing my sister a bridal shower, but I thought it might be more fun for her if it was co-ed and her fiance's friends and male relatives could come too so I was going to call it a "wedding shower" instead of "bridal shower" and include his name on the invitations.
However, she is worried it is too much of a financial burden for folks to feel like the must buy a gift. I think she is overthinking this because she has plenty of low-cost items on her list and they can always decline.
If I was to include a note saying "gifts are not required, your presence is gift enough", how could I word that? Wouldn't it be weird to still call it a shower if you don't need to bring a gift?
I am thinking I might just leave it as wedding shower and just let her know I will buy the high cost items so she doesn't need to worry. :-) Figured I would see if anyone had wording suggestions. Thanks!
