Bachlorette Party Gift
hi there...i've got a bachlorette party coming up and was wondering what to give as a gift - if any is necessary?? i would like to keep it small and don't want anything embarrasing (for me or her) because i don't know her very well...it's my future sister-in law...
money is tight and i went to 2 showers and gave gifts both times, have a tux to rent, flower girl dress to buy, hotel and of course wedding gift so i'm not sure another gift is necessary...but don't want to be the only one w/o a gift!!
for one wedding shower we gave wine glasses and some wines so i can't repeat w/ a bottle of wine...just out of ideas! please help! thanks!

Gifts are expected. I gave this sensual cookbook once because I wanted to be a little more original and I didn't want to get her the normal underware or whatever.
http://www.amazon.com/New-InterCourses-Aphrodisiac-Cookbo...
It went over well and got passed around because everyone wanted to see it. You could probably find a coupon for a bookstore and put it on order. Or just order it off Amazon :)

I recieved the book "1001 ways to be romantic" by Gregory Godek, at my bachelorette party. I love it. It is in no way inappropriate, and has some really fun ideas. I've given it 2 times since then at bachelorette parties and it's been a hit. Like I said it is in no way inappropriate and would be perfect for a future family member. You can get it at most bookstores, but it's onsale on Amazon.com for $11.53 right now, usually about $17.

How about a cute pair of pajamas? Or, you could put together a little basket for her honeymoon. Unlike some of the other responses, I have never been to a bachelorette party where there weren't gifts, so I'd definitely bring something.

I don't think a gift is necessary, but if you want to give a small gift, how about wine glass charms? Sounds like they would complement your previous gift.

A. - if the two showers you went to were for the same person then NO, absolutely you do NOT need to buy her yet another gift. A gift may be expected but it is certainly not required. How many parties should one person have to celebrate the same thing and keep receiving gifts from the same people? If anyone asks, or notices that you don't have a gift (which would be terribly rude), just tell them that you bought gifts at the other two parties. Getting married is supposed to be about 2 people declaring their love for each other and deciding to spend the rest of their lives together - it is not about partying yourselves and your nearest and dearest into bankruptcy. If you still feel pressured to give a gift then how about you write a note in her card offering to take her to lunch after she is married.

A gift is generally expected. I'd buy a pair of underwear...or a gift certificate to victoria's secret.
