What kind of gift am I supposed to give at a wedding shower?

Question

I'm going to a wedding shower this weekend that I don't particularly want to go to for my cousin who I barely know and I don't know what I'm supposed to get her. Do I get her something off her gift registries at Kohls or Target or is that just for the wedding gifts? Help please!

Answer 1

You might find out if there's a theme for the shower and then buy accordingly.  Some people have housewares themes, other do lingerie/personal items.

Answer 2

Yes, get her something off the registry.  The bridal shower is specifically to shower the bride with the things she will need in her married life, and her registry is a list of things she thinks she will need in her married life, so it's perfect.

About $15-25, depending on your budget.  

Answer 3

I would go ahead and get something off of the registry. It is for the shower more than the wedding anyways. Most people believe it better to give money for the wedding.

Answer 4

Candles, nice smelling lotion, massage oils would be nice.  You could prolly make a small basket.

Answer 5

Get something off the registry and this way if she doesn't like it she has no one to blame but herself.  Weddings have become quite mercenery.
