Spinoff on shower hostess gift question...

missmelanie81

When do you give them the gift? at the shower in front of everyone, after the shower when most of the guests leave, another day???

I had flowers delivered the following business day/week. However, if you do it day-of, do it discreetly/after everyone leaves.

ha ha ha, I almost asked this as well. I always thought it should have been the day of, but I can see what Milsey is saying...that may not be proper etiquette, so I think I'll be dropping gifts off the next day :)

I actually gave it to her at the beginning of the shower. But it was just the two of us in the kitchen so no one really saw.

Either before the guests arrive or after they all leave.

Ok..thanks. Maybe Ill bring them with me and try to get to the shower a little bit early and hand them out.

<div>This totally makes sense. I guess the reason I never thought about it was because at all of my showers other people were there before I got there to help set up. Oops. </div>
