If you are decorating/helping host your sister in laws bridal shower should you bring a gift for her?

If you offered to throw the shower, I’d definitely get a gift as well

Unless she has a registry then it’s okay, you can give her a gift at her wedding . If you want you can get her flowers.

I wouldn’t want to receive something that someone felt forced to give me, unless it’s wholeheartedly don’t.

I would NEVER want any of my siblings to spend money on a gift if they were worried about the cost. Even if they hadn’t done anything at all. If you’ve done a whole bunch of stuff already and don’t want to also get a gift, you certainly shouldn’t worry.

My sister did my wedding flowers and that was my gift ☺️

Could be something small or homemade, maybe more housewarming? Like flowers and homemade jam?
It’s about the gesture of a gift 🤷‍♀️

If she is going on a honeymoon then gift her a little survival kit. It will not cost much and you may already have extra items in your house that you can use. Some items to include could be: lip balm, hand lotion, sunscreen, electrolyte packets, candy, condoms, gum/mints. This is a really simple yet extremely thoughtful gift.

Why are you asking people's opinions if you've already made up your mind and having an attitude about it? 🙄 And yes, you should get at least a small gift.

If I was RICH RICH sure I’d also buy a gift but I ain’t so if I’m doing decorating/ planning stuff especially if it’s costing me money that’s my gift. I would feel the same if it were the other way around. I may do an extra decorating project so something as an added surprise “gift” but that’s about the best I could do.

I read it as baby shower at first, and chose get her a gift.

Bridal shower is a bit different, especially if you’re giving a wedding gift too. Personal opinion, hosting or spending significant money on a bridal shower can be done in lieu of a shower gift.

If you don’t want to or can’t afford an additional gift no. Helping host a bridal shower is already a big expensive gift.
