[quote=Anonymous]As others have noted, there's a dance for this. I know we have all the pearl clutchers who are horrified, horrified, if someone ever mentions gifts in any context, but unless you were raised by wolves, you know that gifts will be sent for wedding and showers. But the dance is -- 1. Someone who is not the mother-to-be sends around a plan for a virtual shower. Honestly, this is the easiest time to get brownie points because you don't have plan locations, food, decorations, etc. Pick a time and a place 2. If another person does it, they can also include in the invite, Larla's registry info -- "if you want to send a gift, her registry is here' and put the URL. 3. If that's too cringey for you, don't put in registry information and wait for the series of emails asking where the registry is and respond to each one. Again, if the recipients are at all close and aren't raised by wolves, they're going to send a gift anyway. [/quote]
