I am the MOH and responsible for the shower. The bride and mother of the bride have requested a money tree shower. No gifts, just money. They found this theme in a magazine from Kay Jewelers, Eternally Yours.

What is etiquette on this? How do I state this on the shower invitations?

Unfortunately, the etiquette on this is that it is not acceptable. It is never proper to ask for money as a gift, either for the shower or the wedding. You mention that they found the idea in a magazine from a jewelry store. That is often where these ideas originate without regard to etiquette. Mortgage companies encourage couples to register for the down payment on a home and even print an insert for the couple to place in the invitations, and other businesses promote their products in a similar manner. These ideas offend the recipient of the notice rather than encouraging them to contribute. If, however, the money will be used to purchase a specific needed item, you can mention on the invitation that Sue and Sam need ____. If you would like to join in contributing to the purchase of it, please let me know by (date). This gives guests the option of helping purchase a specific item or bringing another gift of their choosing.
