Do you need to mention "wishing well" on the bridal shower invite? UPDATED WITH QUESTION!
Ok, so my shower is not a secret and my Mom sent out the invites last week to everyone. This past weekend, I went shopping with FMIL and FSIL and they said "how come you're Mom's not doing a wishing well?" I said I didn't know and asked why they assumed this. They said because it wasn't mentioned on the invites. I didn't know it had to be mentioned...
ETA: So what do we do now? My mom wants to rent the wishing well but what if no one brings anything???

Re: Do you need to mention "wishing well" on the bridal shower invite?
usually there is a note on the bottom that says wishing well but I always assume there is one and pick up stuff anyway

I think most people assume there will be one but Its usually mentioned on the invite. Id get a wishing well anyway just in case.
I have to say the best thing I got was those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers  Theyre so awesome!
Good Luck!

Can your mom let people know by word-of-mouth? Some people may bring something anyway, but some may not. Until recently I had never heard of a wishing well (none of my friends are married), so I wouldn't know to bring another gift if it wasn't on the invite.

Re: Do you need to mention "wishing well" on the bridal shower invite? UPDATED WITH QUESTION!
i usually see it on the invite-- sometimes with a theme for the wishing well. My friend had a "honeymoon wishing well" and we were told to bring things that she could use on her honeymoon

Re: Do you need to mention "wishing well" on the bridal shower invite? UPDATED WITH QUESTION!
I don't know if I would bring a wishing well gift to a shower unless it was mentioned on the invite.
can your mom try and spread the word to the guests?

I think that it's always written on the bottom of the invite if there's going to be a wishing well.

Maybe you could have your BP spread the word? My sister didn't have a wishing well (so obviously it wasn't on the invite) and only one guest brought wishing well gifts.

It's this thing you can rent that looks like a little wishing well. People bring little gifts (like kitchen gadgets) to put in it in addition to regular gifts. I think it's a NY thing because people thought I was nuts when I mentioned it to my friends in Boston.
