Q. I've always wondered if it was proper etiquette, if you had to buy a bridal shower gift AND a wedding gift- or is just one gift fine ?
A. a bridal shower gift is something just for the bride herself. a wedding gift on the other hand is for both the bride and the groom and is usually something that is useful around or in the house itself. the gift for just the bride is usually not too expensive while the wedding gift can be.
How much do you spend on wedding shower gifts? On a gift for the actual wedding day?
Q. I am helping throw my friend's wedding shower. I also plan on giving her a gift at the shower and a gift on her wedding day (I do this with everyone). I'm wondering, how much is customary to spend? I know people say "what you can afford," but I'm looking for a more exact figure. I am putting in money for her shower (food, gifts, games, etc.). I guess I'm nervous about this because she has been a total "bridezilla." What do you usually do? Thanks!
A. I would say about $50 for the Bridal Shower since you are helping out financially in the planning of it-
And depending on the wedding itself I would say usually about $75-100 (unless you can afford more)

What are the rules on buying a wedding gift?
Q. When you have already bought a wedding gift for a wedding shower, Is it wrong not to take anything to the actual wedding? Or are you suppose to buy two wedding gifts?
A. A shower gift is separate from the actual wedding gift. Generally for the shower, the couple is registered at one or more stores. You get the list of items they want from the store(s), see which ones haven't already been purchased, then buy one.
For the wedding, itself, most people give money. This is generally because the cost of the wedding, reception, etc. have cost so much, that they could use it.
It is also okay to bring a gift to the wedding. You can also skip the shower, just do RSVP with a cannot attend, so they know how many people are coming.
