I'm a bit confused about gift-giving etiquette. I have already purchased a gift from the couple's registry, which I had sent to their home. Now I'm going to the bride's shower, and I'm not sure if I'm expected to take a gift to that as well, or if I can just attend without a gift since I already sent them something. Is it ever appropriate to show up at a shower without a gift? Or is that terribly rude since the whole point of the shower is to "shower" the bride with gifts?

[In reply to]
The gift you sent is considered the wedding gift. You're right, the bridal shower is a gift giving event so you should purchase a separate gift for the shower. It is not proper to attend a bridal shower without a gift. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
