Wedding Shower Gift Q

We are invited to an out-of-town wedding that we will not be able to attend, so we will obviously be sending a gift despite our absence.  I just received an invitation for a local bridal shower, but my parents will be in town so I can't go.  Do I also need to send a bridal shower gift?  Or is the wedding gift enough?

Re: Wedding Shower Gift Q

  • I guess it depends on how close to the person I am. If we weren't close, I would only give a wedding gift. But apparently MIL doesn't think this is good b/c for DH's cousin's shower in NY that I couldn't attend she got a gift and said if was from DH & I. She told us about it before giving, and I guess she was trying to be nice and help us out, but it really just made me go Confused

  • I don't usually get a gift unless I go to the shower, unless it is a BFF or something, then of course I would have something shipped.
  • I usually only buy gifts for showers I attend.  I will pretty much always send a gift for a wedding.  None of my BFFs are married yet, but I'm pretty sure I would send a gift for their shower even if I couldn't make it.

  • That's along the lines that I am thinking.  She is not a close girlfriend of mine, but I didn't want to be rude.  I will just politely decline & then send along their wedding gift.  Thanks, ladies!
