I know I should get something off the registry but everything they have is pots or pans. I don't think I should bring a set of pots and pans to a bridal shower. What do you think of me getting a gift card to a place like Victoria Secrets for the groom? I know it's not on the list but it's that what the bridal shower is for. The sexy stuff or honeymoon things?

OK, Thanks everyone for your input. I will get something from the gift registry. I wouldn't want to embarrass her in front of her family.

The bridal shower is for domestic gifts. Lingerie and other type gifts are for the bachelorette party or lingerie shower. You might want to check with the hostess of the shower, she'll know what's appropriate and what gifts they'll need that aren't on the registry. You can always purchase a gift card from the store where they are registered.

I wouldn't do the lingerie thing...a bridal shower is for family and friends--meaning grandma, aunts, cousins, whatever. Would you want to get lingerie in front of your grandma?
If you really don't want to get them something off the registry, buy them a gift card for the store where they registered. Obviously, they like the place and they won't get everything off the registry. Or buy them a gift card for a local grocery store. My friend told me the best gift cards she got were from a grocery store and Target, because things were so hectic before the wedding, she could get the little things she needed.

I would stick to her registry ... she asked for those things for a reason. Either that, or get her a gift card to the store where she registered.
I would hold off on the lingerie. The bridal shower is for gifts for the home. Either give it to her at the bachelorette party or privately. It can be embarassing to open lingerie in front of family members.

No, no, no. Buy the bride and groom something off of their registry. They registered for these things because they need them, and trust me, they will probably not appreciate your creativity. Besides, lingerie is for the personal shower, not the bridal shower. If you were going to a personal shower, it would be specified in the invitation. Stick with the registry.

If she registered for pots & pans than thats what she wants and needs.
The couple register for items to let you - the guest - know what they would like.
If it's not something you would like to give them, get them a gift certificate for the place that they registed at.
If you get them something that they may not want make sure it's returnable just incase.
The idea of a shower comes from olden days when the bride was supposed to get the items she needs to prepare the home with. The gift you give at the shower should be for the couple and their home.
If you want to give the groom a gift, do it seperately.

the bridal shower is for practical items mainly because old grannie or old auntie mary will be there, so give her a practical gift at the shower but there is nothing stopping you from giving her a little victoria secret kind of gift after the shower when the guests are gone!

Well wedding preparations are stressful. If I were to get married, I would probably appreciate a full day's worth of spa services, massage, nails and all the shebang. :) This would definetly contribute to a more relaxed and beautiful bride on the big day.

Voctoria's Secret gift cardsounds great. One time I bought an airline gift certificate ($50). That's is something someone else won't do.
Good Luck

That relies upon on her character and particular subject. At my bathe I have been given a lot of kitchen stuff, a vacuum, a pair of lamps, and stuff like that. Kitchen issues are normally a solid wager. If she likes to bake you may desire to get a extensive and a small tart pan plus a pie cutter. or you may desire to get a pair of in any different case sized casserole dishes, or a series of Pyrex bakeware/boxes. A hand-held electric beater, an upright hand-held mixer, a nutrients processor, a series of tea towels and matching napkins/place mats, a series of alluring canisters, a teapot with matching cups, a coffee pot and occasional mugs, stunning serving dishes, cake pans in exciting shapes, etc. i like cooking and baking, so i like getting kitchen stuff! yet think of roughly what she likes and needs. in my opinion, i do no longer think of you may circulate incorrect with kitchen issues. and that i might in my opinion spend extra advantageous than $30 ($50-one hundred for a bath), yet you do what you may cope with to pay for.
