Bridal Shower Etiquette

My friend from high school (also my college roomie) is throwing me a bridal luncheon.  Should I get her a gift?  Any suggestions on gift ideas that are personal and useful?

Thanks!

  • Most definitely! If she is hosting a shower for you, you should get her something to say thank you along with a nice card. The gift doesn't have to be really expensive or anything, but just something to show you appreciate what she did.

    I would shop around, I got my hostess something at Hallmark. You could also get her something that she enjoys or a gift card to a spa or her favorite store, depending on how much you are going to spend.
  • I got my shower hosts candles and flowers. It doesn't have to be something expenisve.

  • This is what I did for my BMs that are hosting my shower.

    My FMIL is having a shower for me, too. I got her a picture frame that is white with roses...Those are my wedding flowers.
  • I got a little potted African violet for one of the co-hosts, and my mom knitted washcloths and brought hand-made soaps for the other two.  Kinda got lucky on that - I think she just wanted to show them her appreciation.

    I also bought really nice "friend" cards that are blank inside that I'll be writing in and sending to each so they know how much I appreciate their friendship.
