Coed wedding shower? what do i bring?

Nicole, on March 7, 2022 at 7:11 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 9

I am in need of some serious advice. My best friend is having a coed wedding shower and I am not sure what I should bring as a gift. She doesn't have a registry for the wedding shower, but she does have a normal wedding registry. Would it be appropriate to bring a wedding registry gift to the coed wedding shower? Do I need to bring the groom a separate gift? Do I need to bring her maid of honor a gift for hosting? I'm a bridesmaid and really don't want to mess it up for her.

Thanks!

    I've only ever seen 1 registry for the wedding and shower. Just get the one gift for the couple off the registry, and you'll be fine.

    There is often only one registry for both the wedding and the shower. Get something in your price range from that registry.

    I would either get them something off their registry or give them a gift that can be used by both of them - for example a voucher for a couples massage.

    It's not common to have a separate shower and wedding registry. They'll just expect one gift from the registry. Bringing a gift for the host is always a nice thing to do! But if you didn't, it wouldn't be rude.

    The wedding registry is typically for both the shower and wedding. Get a gift off of there for the couple. You don’t need to get the MOH anything. If you want to help her set up, you can.

    What a fun occasion to gift something personal (and off the registry-- so controversial). As she is your best friend, would you have any candid pictures of them together as a couple? You can frame it or send it out to an artist to do something special. Or gift something they like doing together to highlight their joint wedding shower? My good friend gifted me & my husband personalized, matching mugs, and we call it our Sunday mugs for our fav time of the week.

    Get something from the registry and you're good to go! I've never seen separate registries before for a shower vs. wedding. No need to give anything to the shower host. Just a registry gift to the bride and groom would be perfect

    Okay first of all this is so sweet and you're so conscientious!

    Just to echo what everyone else has said - there's usually just one registry! One gift is plenty and you won't need to bring a separate one for the groom. A hostess gift for the MOH isn't necessary or expected, but it could be a cute gesture if you arrive early or stay later to help clean up or something!
