Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
My wife got an odd invite in the mail.
My nephew lives in Texas and has been going to school in Florida. It seems he's met a young lady at school and they are going to be married in Florida.
This invite is not an invitation to attend the bridal shower itself, but simply to send a gift. It says: "You are invited to a bridal shower honoring xxxx. Shower her by mail and send your gift to [address]. Crate and Barrel; World Market gift cards."
I know I'm an old grouch, but I was under the impression that a bridal shower was a event where the attendees socialize, eat, drink and ooh and aah as the bride-to-be opens her gifts. This is the first time I've heard of an "invitation" soliciting gifts.
This seems pretty tacky to me. Or, perhaps I'm just out of step with the times?
