If you have a bridal shower on the horizon, you’re probably wondering what you should get the bride-to-be. Traditionally, the bridal shower is a time when the couple receives gifts for their home, like china settings, serving pieces, or appliances, but that’s in the past. Bridal showers today are a bit more flexible and focused on the bride-to-be, which means the gifts could be more personal. To help you through this wedding season, we’re answering some bridal-shower questions, and we’ve compiled a list of fail-safe gifts.
Generally, what kind of gifts do you buy for a bridal shower?
Typically home essentials or wedding-related items, but it all depends on the bride herself– every person is different! We recommend starting with the couple’s wedding registry, which they spent time curating.
Am I supposed to bring the bridal shower hostess a gift?
It’s always a good idea to bring the hostess a small gift if they’re hosting the soiree at their home, as they’ve spent a good amount of time throwing the shower. Simple gifts could include a candle, some flowers, or a bottle of wine.
Should I bring the bridal shower gift to the bridal shower?
Unless you purchased a larger gift, which should then be sent ahead of time, it’s a good idea to bring the gift to the shower itself, as presents are typically opened at the event.
How much should I spend?
Unlike the wedding, the bridal shower is a little more casual, meaning the price range is also more flexible. The gift should range between $30 to $250, depending on how close you are to the bride or groom.
What gifts do we suggest?

After the celebration (and honeymoon) the besotted couple will spend a good majority of the following weeks sending out thank you notes, and hand signing can be tiring– which is why we suggest this gorgeous customized stamp.
One of the best-hidden secrets of wedding days is how far and often the dress itself gets moved around. Using a long garment hanger ensures that the dress doesn’t get dirty or damaged before the bride walks down the aisle (it also makes post-wedding storage even easier)
