Do you need a bridal shower gift suggestion? Most couples will register their desired items at several stores. Choosing from their list makes the whole process easier. This is usually included in the invitation. If a list isn't available, there are several other ways to decide.
Often, the bridal shower gift will be selected from one of the following categories:
• Necessary basics:
Many couples are just starting out. They will need the basics, first. These are items like a toaster, blender, towels, sheets, etc.
The better you know the couple, the easier it will be to determine their needs. When in doubt, just ask the hostess.
*** Do you have a unique bridal shower gift idea you'd like to share?
Kitchen gifts...basic to gourmet, these will be used often.
Bedroom ideas...practical to luxurious, these items will be welcomed.
Bathroom choices...comforting to pampering, including some helpful necessities.
Barbecue options...from grills to tableware, there are a variety of items to help enjoy cooking outdoors, or to bring the outdoor flavors inside.
Bride's Emergency Kit...be prepared to solve problems up to the last minute by assembling a small bag of necessities. This can include a small sewing kit, deodorant, hair pins, hair spray, hair brush, mirror, mints or gum, lip gloss, tissues, hand sanitizer, underwear, makeup, pads/tampons, perfume, lotion, phone, phone charger, bottle of water, small snack like a pack of peanuts or a granola bar, and a credit card or cash.
Gifts for the Wedding Day...help personalize her special day.
Choosing from the registry...always appreciated, this is also a great resource for guests to see the couples style, colors, and needs.
Online Wedding Album...make it memorable. Decide if you want your guests to participate.
Don't forget the wishing well..great starter items.
• Romantic:
This gift can be just for the bride, such as lingerie, or it can be a couple's gift, like a day at a spa. Think extravagant (but of course, within your budget). A much appreciated bridal shower gift suggestion is to create that "spa feeling" by assembling a package of soaps, lotions, loofahs, body butter, and candles. These packages are always a hit.
A gift certificate geared toward the couples needs and interests is always a welcome idea.
Is the couple hard to buy for, or are you just looking for something different? How about a gift of the month club?
• Themed:
the invitation for this type of party, will often request that you bring a theme-related gift. For example, for a beach party, you could bring beach towels, a lounge chair, or a picnic basket. A Wine and Cheese theme could have a cutting board, set of glasses, or an informative book as a choice. You can expect to see a variety of gifts at a theme party, so use your imagination. That's part of the fun.
A specialty basket is a unique bridal shower gift suggestion. The theme can make selection easy. Luggage for a Honeymoon Theme, monogrammed towels for a Bed and Breakfast Shower, or towels and folding chairs for a Beach Theme. Think about the theme and a great bridal shower gift suggestion will follow.
More gift basket idea information...are you thinking about assembling your own?
A bridal shower towel cake is a creative choice. This can also be based around your theme.
• Keepsakes:
These are items that may be engraved, monogrammed, or personalized in some other way.
They will remain very special to the couple throughout the years.
Consider bridal shower gifts with a personal touch. Signs, jewelry, glassware, and ornaments are options.
• Some bridal shower gifts on the "wish list" may be too expensive for one guest to purchase. Think about pooling your money with others, if you know the larger wedding shower gift will be especially appreciated.
• Are you looking for some inexpensive options? There are many creative ideas to show that a limited budget doesn't equal a "tacky" gift.
• Choosing a card..here's why you should put some thought into your choice.
• How you wrap your gift can add a special touch. Incorporate the party colors if you know them. Take inspiration from the theme if there is one.
• Simplify after party "Thank You" notes with a bridal shower gift checklist.
• What is the etiquette for bridal shower gift giving? Do you have any particular questions about your present or what to purchase?
• Make sure to set up a table for guests to place their presents. This area often becomes a focal point, both before the gifts are open and after.
