Shower Gifts

My son will be wed soon. I have been invited to 2 showers, brides luncheon, and a brides family party. How many of these events will I be expected to bring gifts to? I will be paying for the rehearsal dinner for 50 people, the brides boquet (2), grooms attendants flowers (6), 3 tuxedos, my daughters bridesmaid dress, and the Honeymoon trip.

I would just purchase one gift. Most people know the parents can attended several showers. I`ve seen it where the bride will just annouce the gifts she had received at previous showers of those in attendance. I hope that made sense.

One gift will be quite sufficient. I, too, am having a number of showers, and I DO NOT expect a gift every time for the repeat guests. I really just want everyone there to celebrate with me. I read on another post that someone gave a gift that included different bar glasses, and split them for the showers and wedding, which is very good idea. Hope this helps you:)
