So who gets bridal showers? Truthfully, a bridal shower is an excellent opportunity for anyone associated with the bride… friends, well-wishers, even her mother or mother in law, to spoil her before the big day. Traditionally, the bridal shower is hosted by either the maid of honor or one of the bride’s closest friends. One of the host’s primary functions is to decide whether all of the guests will contribute to one large gift or if they will instead each give the bride a gift individually.

If it is decided that each guest at the bridal shower should give a gift individually, often a daunting question becomes what on earth will be an appropriate present? In order to answer this question we have to look at who is the gift giver as the answer may change depending on who that is.

It is appropriate for the party host, who remember is probably one of the bride’s closest friends, to get the bride something personal. One idea could be to make a gift bag full of items that remind the bride of their close bond or items that the bride enjoys personally. For example, if the bride enjoys her nightly relaxation bath, it may be a good idea to give her some lavish bathing salts and a manicure set. The host could add to this a set of coasters with unforgettable pictures of the bride and her together. Other safe examples include monogrammed travel bags, plants for the bride with a green thumb, and the old stand by… chocolate.

While the party host may want to go a very personal route with her gift, the other guests may want to give a present that tells the bride how grateful they are to be in the wedding. Some options could be pearl white tea light candles or tea infuser favors. Another alternative could be a velvet mirror with a photo frame that includes pictures of the bride and the bride with all of the groomsmen. Any of these gifts will be well received and will give the bride a lasting memory of her special day.

If the bride’s mother or mother-in-law are guests at the bridal shower, then there is are other options for them. Obviously, the bride’s mother has a personal relationship with the bride and so her gift should reflect that. The mother of the bride might put together a bridal chest and fill it with personalized mementos and gifts that she perhaps got from her own mother on her wedding day. The mother-in-law may want to give a piece of jewelry that she wants her future daughter-in-law to inherit.
