My friend is getting married next month. Her bridal shower is tomorrow. I have already purchased her a wedding present. Do I bring the gift to the shower or send her a seperate gift?

A bridal shower requires a separate gift than the one at the wedding.
Send a separate gift.
You bring a separate gift to the shower, since the purpose of the shower is to "shower" the bride with gifts.
Seperate. The shower gift is for the bride, the wedding gift is for the couple.
do what you want who cares
You should get a seperate gift for the bridal shower. Usually not as expensive as the actual wedding gift, but thats up to you.
you bring a seperate gift for the shower…something else she’s registered for or somthing fun like lingerie, etc
The shower gift and the wedding gift are two different gifts.
I would do a separate gift just for the bridal shower. and then take the wedding present to the wedding.that way it they can both open the wedding gift together. good luck
By etiquette, a shower is the ONLY type of party that requires all guests to bring a physical gift, even if it is small or homemade/handmade.
Many people do combine their shower gift and wedding gift into one gift. You can do that if you want, and give it at the shower.
Or you can make her something inexpensive like a set of recipe cards you wrote out yourself and give that at the shower.
By the way, gifts are either given at the shower or shipped to the bride’s house. I hope you’re not taking your gift to the reception because that’s technically not proper, and it creates a burden for the family to transport gifts after the reception. Ship it or give it at the shower.
A bridal shower is a separate event with a separate, and less expensive, gift.
Ettiquette says you are never required to bring a gift and people shouldn’t expect one but is seen as pretty rude to show up empty handed,so ettiquette means that you should bring a gift to each event.
Showers and children’s birthday parties are the only parties at which gifts are mandatory. If the wedding gift has pretty much exhausted your generous impulses, a small ‘token’ type gift for the shower is fine.
Unfortunately, it should be a seperate gift. Usually, shower gifts are just small, token gifts….wedding gifts are usually cash amounts.
