bachelorett party gifts?

We were unable to have a shower for the bride due to distance. In lieu of a shower, we will have a bachelorette party when all arrive a day before the wedding. Would it be proper to bring shower gifts to the bachelorette party?

Will there be excessive drinking at this b-party, or will it be more of a spa day? Because option A would suck for me if I were the bride.Either way, sure, you can give her shower gifts, as long as she has some way of getting them home fairly easy.

You definitely can. Just make sure that the guests know there will be gifts involved.

If it's a bachelorette party, it's not a shower, so no she wouldn't receive gifts.  Some people do give really small gifts at a bachelorette party but it's totally optional.  If she wants it to be a shower where she actually gets gifts and opens them in front of everyone, call it a shower.  If it's just a bachelorette where you are all getting together to party and drink and celebrate, it's not a shower.

Shower gifts are normally things like kitchen items these would be out of place at a bachlorette. Actually since bachlorettes typically involve drinking and staying up late one might consider not having that the day before her wedding as she will want to look and feel her best and there is probably also a rehersal dinner ect that night. She will not want to be hungover on her wedding day I would consider shower not bachlorette in this case
