Not having a shower, not throwing a shower. But I was curious. What is the etiquette when the MTB lives really far away and has to fly in for it. What's the wording on the invite then? Do you ask to ship instead of bring? Or ask for small things only? Or does she or the host just suck it up and pay to ship it all back?
Just to reiterate, I am not in a situation to throw a shower like this. Just curious after reading a few threads on this board.
Re: Just wondering
The burden is on the MTB to get her gifts back to her home. Don't mention anything about shipping on the invite.
However, I think many people will realize that it will help the MTB out greatly to ship larger items direct to her, so many might take that route. OR they may gift smaller, easier to transport gifts like clothing, blankets or even gift cards.
