No, don't say bring a gift. You can say which stores the bride is registered at.

The normal and appropriate thing to do is to put registration cards in the envelope with the invitation. Most people know to bring a gift but to help the guests out its nice to let them know where the couple is registered. When I registered each place gave me a card about the size of a business card with the registry info on it such as wedding date and couples names. It of course came from the companies I registered with so my guests knew where to shop. It is NOT appropriate to do this in a wedding invitation but it is acceptable for showers so long as you do not mention that a gift is mandatory. Just enclose the registration cards with the invites and the guest should know. If the bride did not recieve them call the store and ask if they have some available. They are free and stores loves to give them out because its a free form of advertisement. I registered at Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Dillards. Each store gave me cards to enclose in my shower invites.

Never put on a bridal shower card to bring a gift.just put on the card where she is registered at.But don't tell them they have to bring a gift or else they may not want to come if they feel that they have to bring one in order to come to the bridal shower. good luck

No, most people will bring a gift to the shower, if not they will bring one to the wedding...if you add it into the card people will think you've only invited them for the gift.

Oh my dear God, no. That's HORRIBLE. You could put "Gimme, gimme" on there and probably come off the same way.
Presents are generally expected at showers, so unless you've got invitees that have been living in a bomb shelter for all of their lives, they'll know.

I dont think u should. Maybe u want to mention what stores the couple is registered at. That should be obvious enough. Good Luck

It's already communicated by saying it is a shower. All showers require participants to being a phsyical gift.
But, please tell me you're not throwing a shower for yourself?! That would be bad manners!
