Stupid Question - Bridal Shower Gift

sorry girls, i know this is a stupid question, but i have absolutely no clue how it works. i usually give cash at weddings, and go to victoria's secret for bridal showers.

my friend's bridal shower is coming up. she is registered at bloomies. i just bought her WEDDING gift off that registry this morning, and just found out i should get her bridal shower gift off the same reigistry!

now, my questions are:
1) should i have the bridal shower gifts sent to her house as well??????

2) how can she differentiate which one is the wedding gift and which one is the shower gift (well, obviously the wedding gift is more expensive...but....)

3) so i will show up at her shower empty-handed?????????????

sorry about these questions... i just don't know how it works....

thanks!!

No you bring the shower gift with you to the shower. The wedding gift you can give her cash or have shipped to her house before the wedding I guess.

yes, or you can go to the store and pick it up yourself to save on shipping.

If you really wanted to you can still get her a gift from Victoria Secret like you usually do! My sil was registered at 2 places and got a bunch of Gift cards from VS as well.

Re: Stupid Question - Bridal Shower Gift

I went to a bridal shower of a friend who lived out of town, and since she had to travel for her shower, lots of people sent to the gift to her house, and then gave a card at the shower and put a picture inside so she would know what she got. This way she didn't have to lug all of her gifts home.
