I had a question! I am in a wedding in Aug. I am in between jobs and money is super tight. I was wondering what is the expectation on gifts((showers,wedding gift) also I was asked to bring food to the shower is that right to expect us to pitch in? I hate to be a cheep skate and I am happy to stand up in her wedding but I am just stressed about the amount of money!!

It is unfortunate that you are in between jobs and you may want to be creative with your gift giving. It is expected that you will attend all showers, however you don't have to present a gift at each. It is common for the attendants to pitch in for the shower and food and money most often is contributed toward the shower.

I agree with Nancy and would like to add that the shower gift should be less expensive than the wedding gift and can be given as a group gift from the bridal party if you all agree. Also, when planning the shower, which is an optional event, you should either have offered to host this party or been asked by the host to help and then all hosting should agree on cost beforehand.
Select gifts that reflect your relationship with the bride but also keeping your budget in mind, A well planned, thoughtful gift has much more value and meaning than the price tag.
