they will probably bring gifts if it is a shower. you could make super cute picnic theme invitations with red gingham! That sounds like a lot of fun.
Are you throwing the shower for yourself or are your BMs doing the planning? If I was invited to a shower by BMs for a couple I would bring a present, no matter where it was. Now, if I was invited by the bride and groom to a picnic I probably wouldn't, just because it wouldn't be a shower. Cute idea though. I saw some really cute invites that were letterpressed or gocco'd on a brown paper lunch bag. So cute!
I'm with KateMW on this one. If a family member or some friends are throwing you the shower, then guests are usually more likely to bring a gift. I think if you are throwing yourself the party, guests may be less inclined to bring a gift. Because etiquette allows, you can definitely include the places you and your FI are registered on the shower invite as a reminder to guests. Just keep in mind that gifts are not required, they are just a nice gesture.
@FutureMrsMorgan: A Jack and Jill shower is basically a co-ed shower where couples and a family and friends can attend. It is a more modern take on the traditional wedding shower and are popping up everywhere. I personally think they are a much better idea, because it is a way to include the groom.

what do you think about that? any opinions? we would have everyone come to central park in NY since that is where everyone is and jus have a picnic, hang out, have fun and eat. One of my friends was telling me that people might not bring a present to this...i dont mean to sound greedy or anything but of course we would want gifts... what do you girls think?
