A bridal shower gift is separate from the wedding gift. Many couples have a registry; using it is the safest choice.

Ideas

  • Items from the couple’s registry
  • Quality kitchen tools or a recipe box with family recipes
  • Luxurious towels or bedding
  • A personalized cutting board or serving tray
  • Lingerie or robe (only for a close friend, and for an all-close-friends shower)
  • A honeymoon fund contribution
  • A self-care basket for the busy months before the wedding

Etiquette

  • Bring the gift to the shower; send the wedding gift separately.
  • Spend less on the shower gift than the wedding gift.
  • Group gifts from the bridal party are common.
