[In reply to]
What is customary is that you thank each person (with a personal hand-written note) who does something for you. That could be in the form of time, talent or something more tangible during your wedding planning or on the day of the wedding. You also must acknowledge each and every person who sends you a wedding gift with a personal thank you note. Etiquette does call for the bride to give personal gifts to all her wedding attendants as a way of thanking them for their participation in her wedding.
If you want to give a gift to the person giving you a shower, that's very nice but it isn't mandatory. Should you decide to purchase a gift, try to make it something that will be meaningful or enjoyable to the recipient. That could be an engraved jewlery box or a bath and body gift set. The choices really are limitless. Rhonda Allen, Bridal Consultant New Beginnings Weddings
