gift for her bridal shower image
Chrissy Vo
I have never been to a bridal shower before, I have no idea what to get my cousin as a gift. (it has come to my understanding that you bring gifts to bridal showers and money to weddings) I haven't the slightest idea what to get her, or even what type of gift would be appropriate!! Thoughts, ideas? What are some of the gifts you girls, or guys, received at your bridal shower?
Answer
Have you asked if they are registered somewhere? If so that would be the easiest thing, just pick something off there in your price range. If not then it's typically something for the home. If they have an established home and you don't think you could find something they would like then gift cards could work too, typically some department store or like a bed, bath, and beyond place. The typical gifts I see at showers at pots & pans, towels, kitchen gadgets, bedding, picture frames, vases....those are usually picked off a registry though. It's considered rude to put registry info on an invite so call and ask someone if they are registered anywhere. Save you some stress.

Are a bouquet of daffodils in a vase a good gift for a bridal shower?

I was just notified about this shower today and it's in 2 hours. I have beautiful daffodils in my yard that are at peak bloom right now, would that be an ok gift for a bridal shower?
Answer
Not really. Are you going to the wedding as well? Were you planning on bringing your gift to the wedding?
A wedding shower is only for the people invited to the wedding. Etiquette wise, it is proper to give the gift before the wedding. You aren't suppose to bring them to the wedding itself. The shower is usually the opportunity to bring gifts. Of course there is no amount of money that you are obligated to spend.
I'm not sure what your budget is but if you are very broke, a vase might be all you can afford. Or it might be a very nice vase. If that is, of course it is ok. I would still wrap it though. But the daffodils (which will be dead in a day or two) are not a gift for the bride and groom. If you were to give them a plant that they could put in their yard, that would be much better.
Personally for me, if I was only going to spend about $10 on a vase for a wedding gift for the couple, I wouldn't go to the shower. A bridal shower is very very rarely at the bride's place (as it's improper for her to host her own) and transporting a vase filled with flowers is very difficult--especially when she has a car full of other gifts--to transport. More than likely it would be seen as a gift to the host and the bride wouldn't get it at all.
