Bridal Shower Hostess Gifts

I gave mine after my shower ended and it was just me and the hosts left

I plan to bring mine inside when I go in so I don't forget about them, but I will probably set them aside with my purse and give them the gifts before leaving, once (most of) the guests have left.

For my engagement party I had the gift arranged to be deliver the next day. For my bridal shower I left it in my car and gave it to them the next morning. I had a slumber bridal shower and slept over. I woke up before everyone and set up the gift in the kitchen. Only the hots sleep over with me.

I’m not giving thank you gifts for the shower, nor have I ever even heard of that being a thing until these forums. My girls will get an overall “thank you for everything” gift at the rehearsal dinner.

I was planning on giving them out at the end of the shower, probably once the guests have left. FH is going to bring flowers for them at the very end too!

I gave them as soon as I got in.

If it is bridal party, write a thank you note for each hostess immediately. For a gift, you can do it whenever you do a general gift near the wedding time. It is not necessary to get a little gift for doing this, a little gift for that, two for parties, etc. Just give them one gift combining what you would have spent on little stuff, and shop like it is their birthday, personal choices, not wedding mementos or same gift all around. For a shower hostess who is not part of the wedding party, you can bring a small hostess gift with you, but write a thank you not afterward. Or give a little gift with a thank you note shorty after, within 2 weeks like most thank yous. ... Gifts are not necessary. It is a trend now to give gifts for everything. A sincere thank you, in a note they can keep and reread another time, is the necessary part.

I plan to give them when most of the guests have left. I’ll have to bring them in with me because I plan to take a Lyft to the shower, so I won’t have a car I can leave them in.
