Wedding party - Trashy or not? I think yes
Posted on 9/10/16 at 4:22 pm

I got an invitation for a couple that I know to attend a gathering. It isn't a honey-do, not an engagement party, the invitation says nothing about what it is, but what it DOES say is to shower the couple with gifts.
I lol'd when I saw that and was like c'mon, people blatantly asking for gifts on an invitation is trashy AF. What does the OT think?
And I won't be quoting exactly what the invite says or giving specific details because they may lurk here.
Oh and FWIW, someone is throwing the party for them. They may not have had a hand in creating the invite.

You seriously never heard of a wedding shower?

I've heard of bridal showers and honey-do's and engagement parties but not wedding showers. Seems pointless. Just an attempt to get free shite

It's just a couples shower. Likely in lieu of a bridal shower. And as you said someone else offered to throw it for them.
It's called a shower because as you referenced, the guests are "showering" the couple with gifts to help them start their new life together.
Nothing sinister, selfish, or trashy. Show up (or don't), eat some food, drink some free booze, and bring a gift if you so oblige.

what in the frick is a honey do

Weddings are getting more and more out of hand these days. People have an event every other week it seems when getting married.
Clue: nobody really gives a frick that you're getting married except your immediate family. Everybody else looks at it like a chore. Have your bachelor/bachelorette party, then have your wedding and be done with it.
Yes I hate weddings.

The OT's obsession with what is or isn't trashy usually makes me smile, but this one is legitimate IMHO. People are going overboard with these gift-giving parties. My wife's cousin had an engagement party, a wedding party, and of course, the wedding... Yes, I bought them 3 different gifts.

You would have gotten them a wedding gift, correct? You can just bring that gift to the shower now and have a second occasion to eat, drink and spend time with friends.

It's fairly easy to decline an invite. So if you don't want to go, then decline and don't go. No need to run your friends down about a party that someone else is throwing for them.

Shower for the groom, you bring gifts for him. The one my wife and I went to, she made a "basket" out of a bucket, filled it with car care products, pretty cool gift.

That was your choice.

Typically you only give one gift, either at the wedding or one of the showers. You are not obligated to give gifts for every event.

Are you poor ? If not, have tact

I assure you it wasn't... Choose your battles.
And if I'm being honest, I don't think a gift was expected at the engagement party, but they were at both the shower and the wedding.

It is customary to get one gift for the couple even if you are invited to multiple showers and the wedding.

You sound like the trashy one to me

Well, if the chick's any good looking, you can blatantly ask for a hum job or a frick in exchange for a gift.

God forbid they have a money dance at the wedding.
If you can't handle a couples shower, money dance is gonna blow you mind.
