shower gifts

sarack

I have 6 girls on my side... and they are all 'hosting'. The shower is being held at one of their parents' houses...

Who do I give the gift to? And what do I give? I was thinking about a gift certificate to the parents and maybe giving the hoodies to the girls?? Or do you think I should wait until the RD for the hoodies?

Give the hoodies at the shower. Then you're shower gift is taken care of! And since you're planning on doing bracelets or something else for them, you can give them that at the RD.

I just bought a group gift. For my family one I bought a bottle of champaign for them all the share and a nice card. For my friend one I bought them a mini nail polish (in wedding colors) and a travel sized lotion. Cost was about ten dollars a person. I would save the hoodies for the RD, unless you have another gift to give them.

I say give them the hoodies for the shower hostess gift - that way they might even be able to wear the hoodies at the RD depending on dress code for RD.

when i asked one of my moh's who was hosting she said why? and i told her becuase i need to figure it out so i can give gifts and she says gifts aren't necessary. i told her that i wanted them to know how much i appreciate that they are throwing me a shower and she said.. we don't need a gift to tell us that.. but a gift card for my bms parents would be nice.

next question, how much should i give them? $50-100?

I think 50 is good. I'm working on this too! My shower is next Sat! Thanks for the reminder!

you're welcome.

I say $50.  I'm sure they understand you have expenses, so $50 gift card for their home (i.e. Bed Bath & Beyond or Macys) and a nice TY card would be good.

Gift card to where? I would suggest nice place for dinner, in which case I would say $50-75 depending on the place.

I've been thinking about this too.  MOH didn't do thank you gifts when I hosted her shower (at my house, but all us BMs hosted).  I will still do thank you gifts for them though, because I do truly appreciate it!  I'm glad you posted this because I needed ideas!
