I know that might sound like a stupid question but I always got presents for both the bride and groom (at least something they can both use). Thanks.

A Bridal Shower is for the Bride. A Wedding Shower is for the Bride and Groom.

At my bridal shower some of the cards said to bride and some said to bride and groom. Technically, it is for the bride but being that many of the gifts received at the shower are off of registries and both the bride and groom will be using them, it is totally fine to address your shower gift in either format.

a bridal shower is only for the bride. Usually you receive household items, lotions, body bath, nighties. Girlie Type things.
As far as presents that are to both the bride and the groom, that is for either the engagement party or wedding gifts

Bridal showers are different. I recently went to a friends shower and it was only for the bride. My cousin long time ago invited her husband because she didn't want the tradition way. She wanted her husband to be part of the shower. You can have either the traditional way or be different.

It's for the bride. If you're buying a wedding gift you're already getting something for both of them. Don't mean to sound sexist, but the whole wedding is really for the bride. The men, have a drinking party (which they would do anyway), and they all dress the same, instead of choosing an elaborate gown.

In my opinion, the point is to give gifts to help the couple get up and running in their new home together. Obviously towels, and dishes, etc would be used by both of them.
In reading your other answers, it seems like it might depend on the area where people live...I never heard of giving lingerie, bath salts, etc at a shower. Where I live, showers (bridal or wedding, same thing) are for buying items from the registry and would be typically things like towels, toasters, coffee makers, household items...

I have been to, had and given both. My ex-MIL insisted that my ex be at the one that was given by his aunts since I didn't really know all of his family.
Now a days, they do couples showers were both the bride and groom are there with all of their "couple" friends.

I've seen grooms attend the bridal shower before. It usually depends on the type of shower and the hostess of the shower. You can also have a couples shower where you invite couples and it is more like a dinner party.

Yes its for the bride. They are gifts to both but the wife will be the one using them the most thats why its for the bride.
