if you are invited to a wedding shower, you should take a gift to the shower. If you are not at a shower, you take the gift to the wedding reception. How much you spend usually depends on how well you know the person. I would recommend buying one item instead of several that meet your budget. Kitchen items are well loved as are towels and appliances. A nice handmade card can be nice with a walmart gift card. The bride can use a gift card to get what she wants. I would say to spend a minimum of $25.
go to walmart to shop…when you get there print out a registry it will be more up to date so you know that you are not getting something that has already been bought….when you go to pay give them the registry sheet befor they ring your stuff up…they know what to do with it…it would not be odd to buy the small things..you could even make like a gifft basket type gift…..your bf does not need to bring a gift urs can be from the two of you……gifts are usually given at a bridal shower not at a wedding but if they are not having one then you could leave the gift in the car during the wedding and grab it before you go to the reception..they should have a table or something to place the gifts on…also you could try to watch other ppl going in and see if they are bringing theirs in or not
You won’t be “weird” for bringing a gift to the wedding reception. I had never heard of this “gift for the shower, cash at the wedding” stuff until I started hanging around Yahoo! Answers. My family members have always brought wrapped presents to wedding receptions without a problem. If the wedding and reception are not in the same place, I wouldn’t bring the gift in until the reception. They should have a place for people to place gifts and cards as they come in. If you’re really worried about it, there’s nothing incorrect with purchasing online and shipping it to their place early.
Your boyfriend does not have to bring a separate gift since he is attending with you – just have him sign the card or something. (Really, even if he doesn’t sign the card, it’s not a huge deal.)
Buying a few small things from the registry is just fine. If you want to give something larger, see if you can get together with some other guests to all share the cost of the larger item. Otherwise, a gift card is a perfectly acceptable gift. Your friend shouldn’t be expecting you to spend a ton of money on her – she understands that you’re a poor college student!! (Besides, weddings aren’t supposed to be about the gifts, anyway!)
The empty spaces that you can’t click on probably do indicate that they’ve already been bought unless it has a note next to it saying it’s not available for buy online. (So you’d have to buy it in person, in that case.) When you go to the store, someone at customer service should be able to print out an up-to-date version of the registry so that you know things haven’t been bought between when you printed out the list and when you went to the store. Hand the list to the person at checkout, and they’ll take care of the rest. (The list is to give them something to scan so that the online registry can be updated to synchronize with what has been bought online.)
Don’t worry about writing anything fancy in the card. A simple “Congratulations to the both of you!” will suffice. Your friend will just be glad that you got to share her special day. =)
The smaller gifts are there so that you don’t feel obligated to spend more than you can afford – don’t sweat it. If you don’t see something that is what you really want to spend on your friend, maybe just place cash in the card you made.
Usually the expensive ones are when people go in together on a gift, or for relatives who want to splurge. Don’t feel obligated to buy her a new vacuum cleaner or whatever. You don’t have to get anything off the registry if it doesn’t feel like what you want to give as a gift.
