i should know better
if you attend and buy a shower gift, do you also buy a wedding gift?
We kinda went *all out* for her shower gift, and I'm not opposed to purchasing another gift... just didn't know what etiquette called for/what was typical.
Yes, I'm married and I should know this answer... but I don't.
Re: i should know better
Yes, I give gifts for both. I usually buy a smaller gift for the shower, bigger for wedding. . . but if you went all out for the shower, I'd still get a smaller gift for the wedding.
i believe etiquette would dictate that only one present is necessary, since both are celebrating the same occasion, but personally, i would probably still get something small for the wedding.
we definitely had a mix of both - people that just gave one gift (and it was usually at the shower) and people that got us gifts at both.
+1 for this.
I've heard the etiquette both ways, actually, so I don't think you'd be wrong whatever you decide. (One gift vs. two.)

this.
Hmm I always thought it was an either or, and that's what I expected for my wedding. I would have been very surprised to get a gift from someone both at the shower and at the wedding. Maybe it's a regional thing?
In my mind, the shower is for bringing wedding gifts, and you only bring gifts to the wedding if you didn't go to the shower.
Ditto all of this.
