Gift For A Bridal Shower

I`m confused about what to get as a gift at the bridal shower. Should I get something from the registry, or should I buy something for just for the bride like lingerie or bath products? I would hate to be the only one who brings kitchenware. Will I need to bring another gift to the wedding also? This time from the registry?

Both for the wedding and the shower you have the option to purchase a gift from on, or off, the registry. Sometimes a shower is a `themed` shower where it`s all kitchen items, or wine, or lingerie, etc. If it`s not themed, it would be appropriate to give a gift off the registry, although it`s not mandatory. Yes, you should give for both the shower and the wedding.
