: I agree...if this is not a friend or acquaintance, then you should not feel obligated to oblige an invitation with a gift.  Besides, as a busy decorator, you have little free time to attend events! If you still feel you should acknowledge the invitiation, reply with a nice greeting card.

: This is a first for me, and I'm not sure what I should do.  A few weeks ago I met a girl (for the first time) to plan her wedding cake.  She paid my deposit, and everything is in place for the upcoming wedding.  Yesterday, I received an invitation to a bridal shower given in her honor.  Keep in mind that she is not a friend or daughter of a friend--I'd never met her until she came to choose her wedding cake.  I think it was in poor taste for them to send a shower invitation to someone who is just a business contact, and my (and my husband's) feeling is that I should not send a gift because this just seems to be a gift request.  On the other hand, I don't want to alienate a customer who might potentially send other customers my way.  What would you do?
