If you are responsible for planning a bridal shower or are invited to a shower and are not sure of proper gift etiquette, there are a few things you should know when it comes to dealing with gifts. With careful consideration you may be able to give your bridesmaids gifts that show your appreciation for their assistance and also demonstrate that you understand their personality as well.
Traditionally the maid of honor hosts the bridal shower with the assistance of the bridesmaids. A photographer with a long list of references who are willing to speak to potential clients and an even longer list of testimonials from satisfied clients is an excellent indication of a photographer who will do a great job of photographing your wedding. Soda and water should always be available, but for an awesome centerpiece as well as a drink mixture that will go a long ways, punch is still hands down a perennial favorite.
Be sure that everyone who is invited to the wedding shower is also on the invitation list to the wedding to avoid any hurt feelings. Another popular gift idea for the bride to give the groom is tickets to a sporting event for him and his best friend. Consolidating in any way possible can greatly reduce the effort that is required of you to complete you wedding planning.
You really have to know the bride-to-be well in order to make sure you choose the right activities and gifts for the bridal shower. As long as you remain cognizant of your spending and realize the ramifications of your actions you are likely to realize that if you go over budget in one area, you will need to modify other areas by reducing their total budget.
