I am in the northern NJ area, Italian, and the etiquette in my social circles is that you give a gift at the bridal shower, and then you give cash at the wedding. (No one gives a gift at the wedding, it's always cash). My dilemma is that I was invited to a shower and the person is not registered anywhere. I have never been to a shower where this was the case, but I feel weird showing up to a party without a gift or something. I of course will be giving a cash gift at the actual wedding, but my question is: do I also give cash or a random gift of my choosing at the shower? Or do you think this means they just don't want shower gifts? I'm confused.
