The key to selecting the right bridal shower gift is to really know the BRIDE you are shopping for.  Many times we will “rack our brains” trying to find that perfect gift to impress all that are gather at the event, when the secret to your success is as simple as asking the Bride or the bridesmaids.  Here are seven suggestions to help you buy the perfect gift. 

 

1) Ask the bride: what are three things she would like as a gift? And choose one or take hints from the invitation.

 

2) Ask the bride: Where the Bride is registered?  Most brides will have a registry at several of their favorite stores which in most cases are printed on the invitation.

 

3) Ask the bride close family and friends: Most family members, friends and bridesmaids know the bride pretty well and can give you some guidance and hints on what the bride would love as a gift.

 

4) Leave “your” wants and desire out of the equation.  Don’t buy gifts you secretly want or have had your eye on.  The bride may have a totally different “sense of taste” then you have.

 

4) Make sure the gift is wrapped nice! Paper bags, store bags are just plain “No, No’s”, party etiquette.  First impressions go a long way.

 

6) If you are buying lingerie, “please” make sure you have the brides correct lingerie size. Choose colors that complement the Brides favorite color instead of buyer her favorite color. You don’t want to be among the many guests who have brought the same color.  It’s boring and you’re gift will Stand out! Shopping at Teez Delicate Delights can help you with this.

 

7) Lastly, try not to be too raunchy! It’s OK to add a little naughtiness to the shower but keep in mind the Bride mother, grandmother and the future mother-in-law are present. I mean, can you imagine the poor bride holding up a vibrator x 1000 and slowly peering to see her future mother-in-law looking in shock!  Try to save those types of gifts for the Bachelorette Party.

 

At the end of the day, relax! Most brides are appreciative that you took the time to purchase the gift and attend her bridal shower and if she’s not, well you’ve done your best!
