I think combining them might be the best thing, plus with the economy being iffy people might not be able to pay for a housewarming, bridal shower, and wedding gifts. A couples shower is the same as a regular shower where you do register for gifts.
I agree with MissAsB. I think it works out best for you (consolidating time) and them (consolidating money) to combine the events. Plus, I think it'd be more fun to do one big event with everyone included. :)
@formerlybuttons: We did not register anywhere and we ended up getting money and gift cards from about 50 people so just don't register anywhere and people will get the hint to give you money and gift cards. It's kind of common sense. If we get shower invites sometimes there is registry information on there and sometimes there isn't - if they created a registry then we buy something from it but if there is no registry information we just send money unless we actually attend the shower. Personally, I think most YOUNG PEOPLE under age 30 just like money and gift cards anways. Nothing wrong with that - it helps us A LOT.

I wanted to get some feedback from the hive about a bridal shower vs. couples shower. FI and I just bought a house -- and our wedding is in about two months! YIKES! The next two months are going to be crazy busy -- bachelorette weekend, I have two business trips/conferences, and general wedding stuff. Plus we'll be out of town another of the weekends for a friend's wedding. Instead of having a bridal shower, what do you guys think of having a combined couples shower/housewarming party? I have some family who will be in town the weekend before the wedding and I know they'd also like to see the house too. It seems like a good way to "combine" the two -- I guess it would really be more of a housewarming party, and not a bridal shower.
What do you think? Or should I have a bridal shower and then we can have a separate housewarming? I feel slightly uncomfortable with that idea because it's so many occasions "for" me/us -- bridal shower, wedding, housewarming, bachelorette party, etc. Do people usually register if it's a couple shower? I've only been to one and they registered. Thanks for any opinions or advice you might have!!
