  If you are invited to the shower and take a gift, no wedding gift is required in our area. I live in central Alabama. So one gift.

  I'm from Chicago. You give a gift at the shower, usually off the registry but not required and cash or check at the wedding. I find it very interesting when I go to out of town weddings and see all the gifts. That is not the norm here.

  I'm from the Middle Atlantic states. I give both a gift at the shower and money and/or a gift at the wedding itself. Pretty everyone I know does the same. For our wedding, we received mostly gifts off the registry for the shower, and for the wedding, we got mostly monetary gifts and china.

  I'm from upstate NY and we do a smaller gift for the shower, then a larger cash gift (usually) for the wedding.

  Gift for shower, cash for wedding.  Although, I keep it in the same budget, so say I want to give $200 to the couple, I'll get them a $50 gift for the shower, and $150 cash at the wedding.  Or if I skip the shower (I hate showers, so I only go if I'm super close to the bride), then I'll give the full $200 cash at the wedding.

  I am from Michigan.  These are two separate events and therefore, should "require" two separate gifts. I would never attend either event without giving some type of gift at both of them.

  I'm from Colorado and I give a smaller gift at the shower ($40-$60) and a second larger gift from DH & I at the wedding ($100-$200). For the wedding if we do a check we take it, if we are getting a physical gift it is ordered online and delivered to the address the couple chose.

  I am from Kansas, but live in OK. Both places I believe do the one gift total.

  Born and raised in KS, and I never show up empty handed to any function. I gift at both. Typically a gift at the bridal shower, and a card with cash to the wedding. 

  
  Ditto - I was born and raised in SE Kansas, and everyone I know takes a gift to the shower and to the wedding.  I also married a Kansas guy (from just outside the KC metro area), and it's the same for his family/friends.
