My host asked me last night for suggestions. I want to put something to make sure they understand to NOT bring a gift and they will be buying at the shower. I want something cute & catchy and I am bad at that this morning!
 
I think I saw some great ways it was said on here recently. Was it on a thread or on an invite in the files? :confused: I'll see if I can find something...
 
okay, what I saw was an insert for the shower invitations. But the wording is good I think, and you could put that in the message sections. Go to files, then "shower inserts" to see it. I think it looks really good. But here's the wording:This Wedding Shower is a bit different from the rest.
You do not need to bring
a gift with you!! We will be shopping for xxxxxxx
from the Wedding Registry she has created with The Pampered Chef®!!You can give Stephanie even more

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to me for suggestions. I completely understand wanting to make sure your guests know not to bring a gift and that they will be purchasing at the shower. How about something like, "Leave your presents at home, we'll shop together at the shower!" or "No need for gifts, just bring your appetite for delicious food and amazing deals!" I hope these suggestions help, and please let me know if you need any further assistance. Happy hosting!
