Is Maid of Honor expected to send wedding and shower gift?
I'm a MOH and no bridesmaids will be in the wedding party. Since I'm the only one to do all the 'duties' of the wedding party I'm concerned about the growing budget. I'm paying for the dress, bridal shower (catering, favor...), and etc. I hate to sound cheap, but am I expected to buy shower gift and wedding gift? If so, what's an appropriate amount I should be spending on each gift? The bride isn't registered.

When you agree to the honored position of maid of honor you also agree to the duties and responsibilities of that position. Those responsibilities do include buying your attire but the bridal shower is an optional event. If you agree to host this shower then you are responsible to pay for it and to bring a gift.It is also expected that you will send a wedding gift.
The amount you spend on these gifts is a totally personal decision which should be based on your relationship with the couple and your budget. If you are on a limited budget consider crafting a gift. Some suggestions for these types of gifts have been posted previously so use the search tool to find those posts. Any gift selected personally by you is a generous gift. Items such as engraved or personalized keepsakes make terrific gifts and can be purchased reasonably.
