I was just at a wedding last weekend, where it was the couple's 2nd marriage, they were 58 yrs old and 65 yrs old, and already have a home, so they did want money toward their Hawaii Honeymoon, even her wedding shower the invitation said please contribute to their honeymoon, as they already have everything that they need as far as home items go. For the wedding I had no problem writing a check, but for the wedding shower it felt weird. I ended up going in with some other members of my family and we purchased a visa gift card....There was no gift openin at the shower, which was a really fun shower by the way.......I guess in this instance I didn't feel it was out of line to do what they did.....

I think a wedding shower for people that age is a little strange.  You would think they could afford to pay for their own honeymoon.

I too thought having a shower was weird, but it ended up being one of the best organized showers I had been to in a long time! The wife is not working due to a disability issue, so therefore probably a big reason they can't afford the honeymoon, or rather would like help with the honeymoon, I should'nt say they can't afford it as I have no idea of their financial situation......

I think it's a fabulous idea!  They'd rather have memories instead of gifts. I say good for them and
