When do you give host gifts and do I give one for the bachelorette host?

Mrs Carissa Duerr, on July 23, 2017 at 6:26 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

Maybe a setup stupid question, and I can't find an answer so I'm asking anyways Smiley smile. I got a cute gift box for my fmil and future aunt who are throwing me a bridal shower. Do i bring them with and give them before the shower. It seems weird to thank them for something that hasn't happened. Lol. And should I give something for my bridesmaid throwing my bachelorette? My MOH lives out of state so she isn't throwing it. I got a basket with a mug, body wash and a candle (with a cute note about brightening my day, filling my cup with joy and showering me with love). But I feel like that doesn't go with a bachelorette party. I know I'm overthinking this...but help!

    How far ahead of your wedding are these events happening?

    I gave my MOH and BM gifts, but more as a thank-you for everything that they had done for me and for being in my bridal party. I gave them their gifts the night before the wedding.

    They are happening 6 and 5 weeks before the wedding...so a while before. I'm also getting gifts for everyone for the wedding party and was going to give them at the rehersal dinner

    For the shower, I would take the gifts with and look for an opportunity to give them the gifts.

    For the bachelorette, I don't think it is necessary to give a gift and I think you will be fine with the gifts you are giving at the rehearsal dinner.

    I am giving all of my gifts to my BP and mother at the RD. They're also my shower hosts. I don't see the point of multiple gifts in this situation... once nice gift per person and a card thanking them for everything they did is fine.

    I don't think bach gifts are necessary. You could bring something fun for everyone but again not necessary and IDK about you but I'm damn near out of extra $$ for that sort of thing at this point, haha.

    Its fine to bring the gift with you to the shower. Personally, I would leave it in the car until you leave and then give it to them at the end as you get ready to leave.

    The bridal party gifts that you give at the rehearsal dinner are typically the "thank you" for any pre-wedding parties the bridal party might throw.

    I gave hostess gifts for each event. The bach gifts were fairly small (~$20 each), the shower gifts were a little bigger (~$35-40 each) and the wedding gifts were the biggest (~$75-100 each). I gave shower gifts at the end of the shower to each hostess and then I gave bach/wedding gifts before.
