We've been invited. And we got the invitation 3 months ago, so it was really hard to say we already have plans.
Have never attended a greenback shower (nor been invited to one), and hoped I would never have to. DH has never been to a shower at all...he is SO thrilled. NOT!
Is there anyone (apparently, yes...the people who invited us) who doesn't think greenback showers are tacky?
The invitation might as well have said "You're invited...bring money."
I met the woman once, over 10 years ago at her sister's wedding (with about 300 people)...I assume I met her. The current bride-to-be was supposed to be marrying someone else a couple of years ago.
Good thing she called it off before that Greenback Shower.
Her father works in the factory of the business my DH (CFO) works at, and he's invited my DH to his house once or twice a year over the years for incredible lunches (his wife is an awesome cook, apparently), so we kind of feel obligated to go; it's not like this guy is "just an employee", but I only know him and his family from the first wedding I attended. But if we're invited to the shower, I would imagine it's going to be huge...everyone who's invited to the wedding?? I'm sure the food is going to be awesome, but I'm on a diet.
I have no idea how much we're supposed to give.
I just sort of picture them opening the envelopes and announcing the amount.
(They won't, right??
)
Wonder when the greenback wedding is.
