Bridal Shower Gift Etiquette

When it comes to bridal shower gifts, there are a few etiquette tips to keep in mind. First, and most obviously, it's important to remember that the gift should be something the bride will use and enjoy. Typically, bridal shower gifts can be a bit more fun and lighthearted as opposed to wedding gifts. So when choosing a gift, find something that can be both practical and fun.

Remember that you will most likely get the couple a wedding gift in addition to a bridal shower gift. So, it's also important to keep the gift's price range in mind.

Make sure to follow the theme if the shower has one. Typically, the bride-to-be or hostess will inform you on the invitation if the shower has a particular theme.

If there is a registry for the bridal shower, it may be best to choose a gift from there, even if you want to add additional gifts that may not be on the registry.

Finally, remember the card with your gift. This is a great way to show your love and appreciation for the bride-to-be, but it also helps her distinguish your gift from other for thank you notes.

 

How much should I spend on a bridal shower gift?

It's good to shoot for a gift or package of gifts that have a value of about $50. Knowing that you'll also be getting a wedding gift for a couple, you'll want to keep your budget in mind.

 

How to Choose a Bridal Shower Gift

Choosing the perfect bridal shower gift can seem daunting, depending on how close you are to the bride-to-be. So, here are a few tips to help you select an appropriate and unique gift:

1. Think about the bride's interests and hobbies. If she loves cooking, a cookbook or kitchen utensils could be a great gift option.

2. Ask friends and family members for ideas. They may be able to tell you what the bride-to-be would like.

3. Consider the bride's lifestyle. For example, a fitness tracker or yoga mat could be a great gift if she's a fitness enthusiast.

4. Think outside the box. Look for gifts that are unique and unexpected, such as a subscription box, gift set, or personalized item.

5. Consider the bride's wedding theme. If the wedding is beach themed, a beach towel or beach bag would be a great gift.

6. Combine gifts to create a set. Creating a themed package or basket of smaller gifts can give the bride a fun unboxing experience. For example, you can create a date night basket filled with everything the bride and groom need for a fun date night at home.
