Do You Give Both A Shower Gift And Wedding Gi

Well, you`re never *required* to give a gift, but YEP.

No, its not required.

I do however, depending on who it is for I break up the gift. Ie. I bought a bar set for a friend (wine glasses, highball glasses, shot glasses, wine key, bottle opener, and vodka chiller glasses) I gave them two of the pieces at the bridal shower and the rest at the wedding. However this was a friend not a very close one. If it was my best friend she would have received all of this at the wedding then something a little more personal at the shower.

It really depends on your budget and your relationship.

Personally, I usually buy something small for the shower, and something on a larger scale for the wedding. And I agree with all the posts as well...it is not required, and it depends upon your relationship with the couple.

It may not be a requirement but they are two different functions. I usually pick a gift off of the register for the shower and just go with cash for the wedding. But as with everything it really is personnel choice. Keep in mind if you are in the wedding or for some reason have to attend more then one shower I would just stick with one gift.

A wedding is a celebration and the focus is a celebration of the couple. However, when attending a shower it is appropriate to bring a gift. Since the shower and the wedding are two separate functions a wedding gift is not expected but certainly appreciated. It lets the couple know that you are acknowledging them and wish them well no matter how small of a token you provide them. To answer this question: YES! Especially if you are a member of the family!!!
