If you’re still not sure, here are some tips on the types of gifts you should give at a wedding shower.
What Kinds of Gifts to Give at a Bridal Shower
What kinds of gifts do you give at a bridal shower? As a rule of thumb, you give practical bridal shower gifts the couple can use.
Do you have to shop from a registry? If you’re giving a gift, it is a good idea to check the registry. However, this is not a rule… it is merely a suggestion of what to give the couple if you’re stumped.
Can you give cash? Of course! Cash is always a great bridal shower gift, although it’s fun to have something to open, too. :)
Wedding shower presents typically range in price from $50 to $150+ and is based on these seven categories:
1. Kitchen/Cooking
One of the most popular gifts involves things for the kitchen or cooking, especially if the gift is for a couple who loves cooking together.
2. Bedroom
The bedroom is a place of relaxation: bridal shower gifts often include duvet covers and super-soft pillows, furniture, lamps, rugs, and luxury blankets.
3. Bathroom
Every couple needs new digs for the bathroom. Most bridal shower gifts for the bathroom include towels, toiletry bags or organizers, bathmats, and things to turn your bathroom into a spa (we’ll cover them all in this blog post below!)
4. Gifts for Entertaining
Do you like to entertain? Do you know a couple who does? One of the best bridal shower gifts includes things for entertaining, since these are items you’d like to have, but don’t always want to buy for yourself. From charcuterie boards to wine glasses and decanters, we’ll show you incredible wedding shower gifts for the bride who likes to entertain.
5. Bride Themed Gifts
Everyone loves to shower the bride with gifts about her: bridal robes, pajamas, ring dishes, photo frames, and jewelry like this are all in line with the kind of gifts to give at a bridal shower for the bride. We’re even seeing some funny gift ideas, like these candles.
Makeup bags with her favorite beauty products, clutch purses for the wedding day, and personalized jewelry are all items that make suitable bridal shower gift ideas.
This Mrs necklace by GildaLaneJewelry is one of the best bridal shower gifts for 2024 — and one of the best gifts for the bride from her mom.
6. Outdoor
I love being outdoors as soon as the weather warms up in the spring and all through summer — even fall. I practically live outdoors with my fam! From patio chairs to camping equipment for outdoorsy couples, we’ll share the best bridal shower gifts for the outdoors, whether taking a trip or hanging out in your own backyard.
I highly recommend these polywood chairs in red:
7. Decorative
Last but not least, decorative home goods are one great option for bridal shower gifting. These vases, photo frames, wall art, furniture (like this), and more are all items the couple will appreciate, especially if you’re giving wedding gifts for homeowners.
What gifts to NOT give at a bridal shower?
The event is not a bachelorette party, so err on the side of avoiding anything “risque”, like pajamas, underwear, or hosiery. Also, embarrassing gifts are not a good idea. The bride will be opening these gifts in front of the entire party, so choose something that won’t make her blush. Those gifts are more suited for a fun bachelorette bash. :)
Now that you know what kind of gifts to give at a bridal shower, I’m curious. What are the top bridal shower gifts on this list? Do you have any gift ideas to add?
