Number of bridal showers and groom's mother's role.
What is the usual number of showers for a wedding? What are the expectations of the mother of the groom in attending showers and other preparatory events surrounding the wedding? What is the customary dollar amount for a shower gift? Thank you.

Dear MOG,
There is no official number of showers for a wedding. A shower is an optional party, so some may not have a shower hosted for them, some may. Some couples have so many friends and family that there may be a shower for each side of the family and another for their friends.
Typically the mother of the groom would attend any shower she is invited to attend. She would only give one shower gift. She would attend all other prewedding parties she is invited to attend.
There is no official dollar amount one spends on any type of gift. If you want to give the couple a gift for their shower or wedding, you would choose a gift from their registry or give something you feel is appropriate.
