We are going to my nephews wedding in Maine next week. We live in California. I have not heard of a wedding shower for them so did not have the chance to send a gift. We are planning on giving money for the wedding gift. Do I bring an additional gift as a shower gift?

No, you don't need to bring a shower gift. There may have been a shower, but out of town relatives are not typically invited to them.

if you weren't invited to the shower, you don't need to give them a shower gift.

If you DID go to a shower, you would give both, as you know.

If you wish you had been invited to the shower, you *could* give them a shower gift, but I wonder if that might make them feel bad for not inviting you--in which case, don't label it a shower gift.

But the wedding gift alone is just fine--and I bet they'll like it, LOL! it'll certainly fit w/ their decorating scheme.

no shower, no gift...in my case, i recently purchased a very expensive gift and bride realized it was a combo...and signed her thank-you card as such...

Hello friend,
I think you can take some additional gift for them..It's fine that you want to give them money but in weddings, gifts have their own charm.There are so many cheap and beautiful gifts which you can gift them,as we did in our cousin's wedding like Butterfly Gift Basket with Seed Packet,Aqua Favor Boxes,Blooming Flower Bottle Stopper,Flip Flop Luggage Tag,Heart Wind Chime etc.

Regards,
Kimroddy

I doubt any bride wants SPAM for a gift.
