I think wedding ettiquite dictates that you pretty much buy a gift. Ideally, the bridesmaids would have chipped in and helped you throw the party, but this isn't a perfect world, but you still should get her a gift. If finances are low, get her something she really needs, but doesn't cost that much : ) Good luck!

I really think that it depends. I mean, how lavish a shower are you throwing? Not only that, but I think it would be proper to give the bride a present because it is considered an honor that she chose you as her maid of honor. Look at it this way, if you were the one getting married, would you want your attendants to give you gifts? Even if its just a little token of your friendship, she'd probably be appreciative. Good luck.

It's ultimately your decision. It would be nice, and I know the bride would appreciate it. Think about it this way: if it were your wedding shower, would you still want your maid of honor to get you something for the wedding? Maybe that will help you decide what to do, but really, the decision is yours! :)

Yes, you should buy her a gift for the shower. Since she has chosen you to be her maid-of-honor you must be really close. And though you are paying for the shower it would look strange if there were no gift from you. Enjoy!

Yes you should still get her a gift. Have it there at the shower. It can be something very small or endearing. You can find a nice frame and good pic of the two of you and give it her in a frame. You can get a her a little gift from her registry or a nice piece of lingerie for her wedding night. Keep it simple.

Yes, but you could do something with the other bridesmaids. An idea could be that you and the braidsmaids pay for the bride's make up artist or the whole wedding party's make up if you have enough funds to do that.

yes. You still have to buy a gift. And everyone, especially the bride, is going to expect a gift. Just buy something practical.

Definitely. But you don't have to spend a ton of money since you're already hosting her shower. Get her something sweet for herself, like a pretty nightie, or some perfume, or a photo album for after her wedding. Something special!

My spouse tells me that the bridesmaids are meant to deliver a present for each little thing and the maid of honor is likewise meant to host the bathe. it is totally severe priced to be a component of the marriage social gathering.

Yes, but you don't need to spend too much, since you already spent on the party. Get her a copy of the Joy of Cooking. I got one at my shower 12 years ago and I still use it every week.
