For a bridal shower invitation, is it acceptable to list what will be purchased as a group gift?
While spreading the information via word of mouth is preferable, a note may be included on the bottom of the invitation, or on a card inserted in the envelope, that the hosts will be purchasing a group gift if guests would like to participate. Keep in mind that even though you want to purchase a group gift you may not get group participation. Talk to some of the key guests and hosts and make sure they are on board with the idea or you could end up having to pay for the majority of the gift.
