Etiquette Q about a wedding shower

taitai07

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with this...I have no idea what to do! Some close friends of mine are getting married in 4 weeks. MH and I already sent them a few gifts off of their registry. Then yesterday we got an invitation to a couples shower in the mail from some other friends of theirs whom we have never met. The shower is in 2 weeks, and we had no idea that it was happening, otherwise we would have waited to give them their gifts.

If we decide to go to the shower, do we need to bring another gift? Should we just skip it altogether if we can't afford to get them another gift? Thanks!!

I would go and not bring a gift.  I'd give them a card and maybe say "We hope you got our shower gift in the mail"....

if you go to a shower, you always take a gift.  just get something small.  or don't go.

I would go if I was close friends with them and either not bring another gift or at most just get them a $20 restaurant GC or a couple movie tickets or something small like that.  I'm sure that they aren't expecting you to give them another gift if you've already sent them something.

exactly what i was going to suggest.

I'd just take a card it is not like you did not already send an gift so I wouldn't worry about it!!
