What gift to bring to a bridal shower?

My MOH, SIL and I were having a discussion about the invitations to my bridal shower and the type of message it would send to the guest as of what kind of gift to bring. My MOH and I came to the consensus that every bridal shower that we have attended, seem to have a lingerie gift environment for the bride. My SIL on the other hand, felt that a bridal shower gift is similar to what you would bring as a wedding gift. While, it doesn't make a difference to me what type of gift guests bring to my shower, as I am primarily looking forward to the celebration. It did make me curious, as to what was common gift giving practices for bridal showers, within your circle. I have two bridal showers that I will be attending before my big day and your insight will be helpful.

    In my circle the shower is always for registry gifts and such, and then the lingerie is at the bachelorette party.

    I would hate the idea of being given lingerie at my bridal shower. It should be a gift off the registry or sweet, sweet cash.

    Bridal showers that I have attended prior to this discussion have all been geared toward lingerie. I honestly don't remember the bride ever receiving anything other than lingerie or something sensual.Personally, it wouldn't bother me or family because it's somewhat expected. My FH doesn't believe it will bother his family either. But to each its own. This is definitely great advice for attending someone else's shower who may not have had the same experiences as I. It would be quite embarrassing to bring lingerie to a shower when others may be accustom to registry gifts lol

    Is it a bridal shower or Bachelorette party? Bcuz they are 2 different things. Bachelorette party has lingerie and is for adults only. Bridal shower is family friendly in my experience.
