Q&A: Bridesmaid required to buy gift?
Question by mellie0786: Bridesmaid required to buy gift?
I'm a bridesmaid in my good friends wedding and she is having 2 bridal showers...
The Bridal party is throwing one "a personal shower" with alot of her young friends! So the 4 of us are spending the money to throw this shower for the bride!
The 2nd one is being thrown by a family friend "a bridal shower tea" very proper...
Well am I supposed to buy a gift for the bride and groom at the "bridal shower tea" , or just a wedding gift?

usually, you only bring one gift for the wedding and bridal shower.
Wait, you are throwing the shower? That should be present enough. The second shower, the 4 of you could go in together and buy something small (but I don’t think it’s required seeing as you’ve already thrown her a shower). It’d just be a nice gesture.
It’s up to you though.. I think the bride would understand why you didn’t get her a 3rd present. lol As for the other guests, none of them will even notice a missing gift because there’ll be so many going around.
Usually if your pitching in to throw the shower that is enough. You don’t actually have to purchase a gift to.
Usually what happens is you bring one gift for the shower and another gift for the wedding. Since you are part of the bridal party, you are realizing just how expensive being part of the wedding can quickly become. Keep the gifts for the showers small and simple – give the larger gift for the wedding.
I would get a SMALL gift for the bridal shower tea – I’m thinking $ 10-15 from her registry.
Then get her a modest wedding gift that is given to her separately – not at the shower. You’re already dropping bucks on her wedding and a shower, so she shouldn’t be expecting a major wedding gift from you.
Yes, typically you are expected to buy a gift for a shower that you attend. It doesn’t have to be expensive. I think $ 30 is fine for a shower gift. But, I think you would feel uncomfortable if you showed up empty handed as everyone else will likely be bringing something, even if it’s small.
