a wedding gift? If you go to the bridal shower and bring a gift is the wedding gift separate from the bridal shower gift? Also, what would you get for a bridal shower gift? thanks

Yes they are two separate gifts. The bridal shower gift is generally geared towards setting up the home, or for the bride specifically. The wedding gift is geared towards them as a couple. And if the bride you are referring to has not registered somewhere, then ask her maid of honor what kind of shower it is..if its family oriented then go with housewares...if its just friends, then go get something sexy for her to take on her honeymoon. Good luck!

A bridal shower gift is a gift that you bring to the shower. A bridal shower gift is typically something off of the bride's registry. It could be a place setting for their China pattern or something for the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, etc. It truly ranges. A wedding gift nowadays is typically money. they are two separate things. If you can not make the shower and you were given an invite. It is good etiquette to still send a gift.

The shower gift doesn't have to be seperate from the wedding gift. A lot of times if someone got you something for a shower gift they won't give a wedding gift. Shower gifts depend on the type of shower being given. Sometimes they are themed. ex. kitchen shower, personal shower, etc... Gifts in those categories would be good. Usually gifts chosen from a registry that the bride and groom have made is a good gift for the basic bridal shower.

Okay so a lot of people are saying the bridal shower gift is just for the bride, but it's usually not. That would be the gift for the bachelorette party. Nowadays, the bridal shower involves both bride and groom, and they register for gifts at a couple stores. The wedding gift is separate, and money is usually most appreciated, because it helps cover the costs of the wedding and/or honeymoon. The bridal shower gifts are typically for the home, whether it be kitchenware, lamps, bedset, etc. Whatever you do, don't give sexy gifts at the bridal shower, usually the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and other family are there!

A bridal shower gift is given during the bridal shower. It is intended for the bride. Unlike the wedding gift which is for both the groom and bride.
If you're the groom, you need not buy a bridal shower gift and you're not supposed to be in the bridal shower. The bridal shower is arranged by the maid of honor and the bridesmaids. They invite the bride's female friends. There, they talk about "girl things" related to married life among other things. While your bride is in the bridal shower, you're supposed to be in a stag party with your best man and your groomsmen.

Dumb question. Is this a couples shower? Most guys don't go to the bridal shower.
Yes, it is two separate gifts. Bridal shower gifts have special meaning to the bride or something that she can use for herself. You can also get something off the registry. The choice is yours.
I often give a wedding time capsule as a gift because it is something so different. And it is something they can share with their families before the wedding. Just a bunch of fun and still practical. As for a wedding gift you need to choose something off their registry. These are items that they have chosen because they will use them as a couple.

They are different gifts, the shower is usually something from the registry, not as expensive as the wedding gift. Most the time its household or in some cases a personal shower. I have seen showers given for the groom to be where they get yard tools, sports equipment etc. Wedding is usually something that was not taken off the registry at the shower, or cash or gift cards are popular.

Check the bridal registry for a shower gift (where are they registered?) and give cash at the wedding (enough to cover your plate of food and then some).

I've heard that people will get the something off their registry for the bridal shower and then give cash for their wedding present.

Two separate gifts. The bride and groom are usually registered at several stores. Just find out where and pick a gift off the registry. The stores keep track of what is bought so the lists are up to date.
