Shower hosts

There are varying opinions it seems on these boards, but I need to know what to do as far as gifts for my shower hosts.  We are having the shower at my FSIL's house, but on the invite, my entire bridal party is listed as "hosts" along with FSIL.  Do I get a gift just for the FSIL as she is hosting at her home, or do I get a gift for everyone in the bridal party, too?  (I bought all their dresses, accessories, hair/makeup, and some other stuff already)  TIA!!

Did the rest of your bridal party help plan or pay for the shower? If so, I think you need thank all of them in one way or another.

If you're going to get a gift for one, you should get a gift for all the hosts.  It doesn't have to be anything big - a bottle of wine, some bath products or candles, stuff like that is fine.

I had several shower "hostesses" as well. I only bought a gift for the family friend that originally decided to throw it and rented the party room at her condo complex.

My BM's (except my sister/MOH) weren't really involved with my shower, so my Mom, H's Mom and my Grandma also helped. Neither of them wanted me to get them anything depsite how hard I tried.

Yes, I will definitely thank them all in some way, I just know FSIL is the main planner here.  I may just get them something small (maybe boxes of truffles or something?) and FSIL something a little different (definitely wine!).  Thanks!

I think your idea sounds great! You might ask who is "hosting" it. I did that with my family shower because I know my aunts were involved, but I guess my grandmother and FMIL are the only ones hosting.
