My bridal shower is coming up in about one month. Two of my aunts are hosting my bridal shower. They, in addition to my uncles (their husbands), are making the flower arrangements for the wedding as well as my wedding cake! I have NO idea what to do for them. Should I bring them a gift on the day of the shower? And then another after the wedding (along w/ their thank you card)? I am on a very VERY tight budget but I want to do something for them... What about my uncles (which I%26#039;m pretty sure are not really doing the %26quot;put together%26quot; stuff but rather supporting their wives who are doing this for me)? Thanks for the suggestions!
Gifts for bridal shower host?

Reply:It would be good to give one present for the shower and another small thank you gift after the wedding. Since you are on a budget, I suggest finding a couple of easy DIY projects. A simple picture frame with a thank you note inside is affordable and cute. To include the uncles after the wedding you could make them a %26quot;movie night basket%26quot; These are usually easy to put together and not too pricey. Find a large inexpensive bowl (check Target or Wal-mart) put in some microwave popcorn, blockbuster gift card, and maybe an inexpensive throw.

Reply:My sister did little potted flowers for her shower hosts. Its a little something sweet, but well within any budget.
I have to travel (on planes) for my showers... my cutest idea thus far is a ceramic bread pan + bread mix (and the recipe for my grandmother%26#039;s nut bread).
Make sure you acknowledge their help at the wedding (or rehearsal dinner speeches) (not sure which)
Reply:the gifts for the shower would be just fine
Reply:How about a massage gift card (not sure where you are from, but in Phoenix we have a chain of massage places). They (especially the aunts) will love a day of pampering. Set up a couples massage, facial, nail appointment, etc. For the men, get them monogrammed flasks or cigar accessories if they wouldn%26#039;t be into the massage/day of relaxation.

Reply:A thank you note is a must. A gift from your heart might be the perfect gift. I would suggest you invite them to your home for a home cooked brunch, lunch or dinner as a thank you. Your entertainment for the evening, looking at pictures or the wedding video. On your wedding day have your photographer take a picture with you and these special aunts. Then choose a nice picture and have a copy made for them. This may be the most appreciated gift you could give them. Should be able to fit into your budget.
Congrats and good luck.
Reply:Wow you are really a lucky girl to have so many people helping to make your wedding your most memorable day! I would have to agree with one honey. Since you are on a tight budget, I think that instead of getting them a gift now to say thank you, just give them a special thank you card and let them know in that card that when you get back from your honey moon, or as soon as you two settle in, you would like to have them over for dinner. A formal dinner as a thank you for there generosity and help in making your day so special. Give them a special night, after all is said and done. I am sure they would love this, at least I would. Good luck, Congratulations and God Bless!skin disease
