When to give shower hostess presents?

snoopy5512 · February 2011

I am wondering, do you bring the hostess gifts to the shower? Or give them after?

I've always seen people give them out after opening gifts.

I plan on giving them to them when I am thanking everyone for coming right at the beginning. I did the same at my bridal shower.

I am giving my mil, step mil, sil, sister, mom all a girl pandora charm.

I will probably give my shower hostesses their gifts when the guests leave like I did with my bridal shower. I still need to figure out what to get them!

I'm so glad you posted this because my shower is on Sunday and I had totally spaced on this! I have no idea what to get them, but I only have a couple days to figure it out. Yikes!

I order flowers for the person whose house it is at. I have the flowers delivered the morning of the shower so they can put them out during the shower if they like. Everyone else gets their gift at the end of the shower after the other guests leave. I feel dumb giving them out in front of everyone. I don't really care to make a production out of it.

I had flowers delivered to their home or office a day or two after the shower.

I gave them a few days after. The hostesses were my boss's wife, daughter, and my secretary, and they all said not to do it at the shower, so I obeyed their wishes.
