do you give the main wedding gift at the shower being held in October and then Money or another gift at the wedding
A friend of mines daughter is getting married in January. She is having her bridal shower in October. I was told by the mother of the bride that I am to give her main wedding present at the bridal shower since I am in town, and money and or a small present at the wedding but it should be no less then 100.00 in cash or a check at the wedding. That only guests from out of town bring the wedding gift to the wedding. What is the proper etiquette? I can't afford to give 100.00 and her main gift at the bridal shower in 2 months.

Gifts are decided on by the giver - you give what you want, what you can afford and based on your relationship with the bride and groom. Shower gifts are generally small, less valuable gifts; home items like towels for example. The shower gift is brought to the shower.
Wedding gifts are sent to the home of the bride before the wedding. You can choose something off her registry, if she has one, or send a gift of whatever value fits into your budget.
This mother needs a manners reality check...sheesh! Maybe a good shower gift would be Peggy Post's new book, "Etiquette"! Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I definitely couldn't agree more. Demanding cash?? That's interesting. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
