Baby Shower Wording Help...

Ok. So I am starting to think about my sister's shower alreadyChat Icon Chat Icon

They will be coming in over the summer if she remains in good health.Chat Icon But they won't be registering here because they won't be able to bring things home with them. So, I need to somehow state that they would like money clothes, or small gifts that they can carry home. And they can use all the help they can get with the money part to buy the big stuff in Aruba (which is very expensive)

How do I word this without offending or being "tacky"?

Shipping would cost a fortune and probably take weeks to get there.Chat Icon

I would definitely word it along these lines and make sure you mention that she has to go back to Aruba....but I wouldn't say Gift Cards or Certificates - she may not be able to use them there and she certainly won't be able to cash them in.
