Hi, I saw on another board I follow, October 2013, people mentioning about giving hostess gifts for the people throwing their shower. I actually haven't heard of this and wanted to check with other brides in the NJ area to see their feelings. My bridal shower is being hosted by my Mother and bridesmaids. I've read mixed things online about the proper etiquette. I've asked a few other friends and they haven't heard of it either. Any help greatly appreciated.
