My mother and I are going to my cousin's bridal shower, and my mom wanted to split the cost of one of the nicer gifts on the registry with me. Is it okay if we give a gift together, or should she receive a seperate gift from both of us? I'm only 18 if that matters at all.

I would split it, if you are helping with the shower too. That would exceed some of the cost of gifts the others will be getting.

It's totally ok! In fact I'm hoping some people split gifts! I have some bigger ticket items on my registry (a dyson vacume) that I dont expect one single person to buy us. I dont think the couple will care that they didnt get two gifts when they recieve a nicer gift that maybe they werent expecting to get because of the price.
Go for it. It will benefit everyone. :)

Of course you can split the cost of the gift. A lot of people do that so that the bride gets the more expensive items instead of having to go out and get them herself. I think it is a fantastic idea. My family went in on a clock that was very expensive for my cousins wedding. They loved the clock and it didn't cost very much per person to pay for it.

It's absolutely ok to split the cost of a gift, that's why brides-to-be put more expensive things on their registries! Go for it! (hopefully mom chips in a bit more than you since you're only 18!--Heck my mom does and I'm 31!)

It is perfectly all right for you and your motehr to split the cost of a gift and then give it jointly to the bride and groom. Nothing wrong at all. They get one of the high end gifts they wanted and neither one of you is burdened with the entire cost. Get a nice card signed by you both and go have fun at the wedding.

It is completely fine! Although this may come out wrong....even though you are 18 and considered an adult, in this situation, people expect that you are still very young and probably don't have a lot of money. Your cousin will probably appreciate the bigger gift over 2 small ones anyway.

I'd say that it's perfectly acceptable to split the cost of the gift, especially given your age. Your cousin will no doubt be excited to receive something so nice!

yes it is okay to split the cost of a gift. but know that you are not supposed to get a gift off of the wedding registry for the shower. the bridal shower gift should be something that supports the theme of the bridal shower and is usually for the bride and the bride alone (unless they have requested gifts from the bridal registry).

oh yes it totally fine. i was registerd for a baby shower at work and like 15 people went in on this expensvie car seat. going in on a gift is totally fine, thats one way the bride will get one of her more expensive items. just get a card and sign both of you and put it with the gift so that she knows its from both of you.
