If I bought a gift for my boss for his engagement party, and I'm getting another one for their wedding. Do I have to bring a third to the bridal shower? I eloped so I have no clue.
If so, do you bring a gift geared toward the bride only to the bridal shower??

I think you should bring a gift to the shower and the wedding but only spend what you planned on spending. (ex. If you wanted to spend $100, then spend $40 on the shower and give $60 at the wedding) The bride is most likely registered somewhere.. I would really try to buy something off of their registry. If you can't, go for a gift card or something you are pretty sure they would both like/use. Get something timeless and plain rather than trendy if you have to buy in the dark.

Yes, even though it gets expensive you do have to bring a gift to the bridal shower. Normally you can either buy something geared towards the bride or something off their wedding registry. And yes... you need to give another gift for the wedding
BUT the good news is, its your boss and hopefully you will get a good bonus at the end of the year.

If you want to give them something at the engagement party get them a card and for the bridal and wedding get them real gifts for those. Bridal shower gifts usually are for the bride. For The Wedding it is for both the bride and groom

I agree with Sydney, I would give a card for the engagement party and go with a gift for the shower and wedding.
I would give the bride lingerie for the shower, if you feel you know her well enough. That is definitely a gift for both of them.
If you are not comfortable with that, give them a nice bottle of wine and some glasses in a gift basket. Put in some candles and chocolates and maybe some massage oils and a book on massage.
And if your boss has a sense of humor, put a bottle of vitamins in the basket.

I didn't know people gave gifts for engagement parties. For that I would merely give them a congratulations card and proceed to bring a gift to both the bridal shower and wedding.

Unfortunately, people must now give gifts at all three. Something less expensive at the first two.
