Thrown bridal shower as wedding gift?

So. Everyone else touched on the entitled part, but I absolutely think that them throwing you a shower is enough.

Because of them youll have a second celebration plus you’ll be getting showered with gifts. It’s a pretty generous gesture.

I don't think snob is the right word. Another word comes to mind.

I think I'd be ecstatic that someone wanted to throw a party in my honor. It's not your place to decide how much money your sister has to spend on your wedding, and in this post you do come across as rather gift-grabby. What would it matter if anyone got you a gift or not? I'm thrilled to have friends and family to celebrate with!

Um, yeah. Be grateful they even want to plan a party for you. I love my sister, and we didn't throw her a party, but when I wanted to give her a gift for her wedding, she told me "I'm REALLY broke, being in your wedding will have to be the gift." I wasn't offended at all quite frankly but I didn't get her a gift either. She will buy the dress, show up for the bridal shower (my mom/ and mil are hosting) and just be there on my day. Now when I was in my friends wedding we hosted a bridal shower it did cost a little bit of money, BUT she enjoyed herself and had a great time, and when giving her a wedding gift I factored in how much I did spend to be in her wedding and she was aware, and understood, because we did pay for her shower, and the dress, and the bachelorette party, and alterations and the hotel room. SO I mean a gift is a gift, and you give what you can afford, and after that I couldn't really afford to give more, and we've talked about how much it costs to be in a wedding, so we were on the same page. ETA she didn't get a gift for the shower from me.

Just be appreciative of what you have. Not everyone has a shower or that much to spend on a wedding.

You sound entitled. I threw my friend a shower last year and spend over $1000. Showers can be very expensive. It's a generous offer. They don't owe you anything. Be grateful.
