I need help and I know I can count on you ladies.
I'm going to a wedding shower on Saturday and I've never been to one before and I didn't have one.
I'm supposed to bring a gift right? How much should I spend? Any good ideas or gifts that you loved at your wedding shower? TIA!

Re: Wedding shower gift
If the couple didn't register, I absolutely love my Kate Spade vases and picture frames. Macys carries them and Macys usually has coupons.

I do $50 for a shower and then $150-$200 for a wedding. But spend within your range, not mine! A lot of people do physical gift for the shower and monetary gift for the wedding.
Yup what others have said. $50 for a shower is a good amount if you are close, a little less or a little more would be fine too. I read somewhere that wedding gifts were supposed to be roughly equal to what the bride and groom spent per person for the wedding. Which is probably in the $100-$200 range. I don't know about anyone else though but for my wedding my shower gifts were probably more in the $25 range and gifts in at the wedding were probably more in the $50 range. But maybe my family and friends are cheap
Spend what you are comfortable with. Depending on how close I am to the person I spend probably $30-$60 on a gift and then give them $50 for their wedding.

As a bride the main thing I found super annoying were all the guests who just came and didn't even bring a card or one person literally wrote me a card with an IOU saying they'd get me something when they graduated college and had money... (Guess what, never happened
