Stress Busting Tip: Easing the strain on guests' budgets

Shower gifts, combined with wedding gifts, can place a real financial strain on wedding guests. If this is a concern, you might suggest a low-priced gift theme. Some possibilities:

  • Book, CD or DVD showers: Perfect for lovers of reading, music and movies.
  • Recipe showers: Favorite recipes are written on recipe cards and collected in a box or file.
  • Pantry showers: Useful and/or exotic pantry supplies, such as spices, condiments, coffees, and teas.
  • Stock-the-bar showers: Basic bar components, such as measuring utensils, bottle openers, swizzle sticks, cocktail napkins, and tins of nuts.
