I was thinking of giving the BMs their gifts at the shower. I am bringing them with me - the shower is a surprise but I am pretty sure I know when it is- is that appropriate?

Re: Giving BM gifts
Your actually supposed to give it to them at the Rehearsal Dinner. Are you having one?

I agree - they won't be expecting gifts at the shower...

Re: Giving BM gifts
if you're having a RD, that's usually when the gifts should be given... but it's up to you what you decide.
although i would think that since the shower is a surprise, you shouldn't know when it is and ruin the surprise by bringing them gifts.

Re: Giving BM gifts
I think they could be given at Rd if you are having one bc that's toward the end and it's your way to thank them for everything they have done up to a few days before it !

You could also give them out at the Bridesmaids Luncheon!

Re: Giving BM gifts
I agree with what everyone else has said. Even though you may have a hunch about the shower, some people may get upset if you ruin the surprise by having your gifts ready. Plus, the shower is all about you! LoL. I would wait until the rehearsal dinner (if having one) or organize a dinner or lunch with your girls and give them out there.

Re: Giving BM gifts
We gave most of our gifts at the RD-- the only gift that we gave early were the T shirts that I bought my girls to wear to the bachelorette party!
I gave them the night of the shower since we all went out together-- but saved the rest for the RD- it's a fun ritual right before your wedding!! Then they can sweat it out wondering what they'll get... lol!!
Plus there is only so much to do at an RD, and you will be glad you have something to fill in the time!!

Re: Giving BM gifts
Well: I am looking at it as the same as carrying them around like I am carrying my dress around- you know like I don't know when its going to be so I have them with me. But it is weird.
I am not having a RD- so I couldn't do it there.
I already had a luncheon with the bridesmaids in November.
BUT I am having every one over to put together the invites and favors (the end of May)- maybe I should do it then?
Thanks Ladies!

well if you're not having a RD then why not give it at the shower, i see nothing wrong with that. I know everybody said to do it at RD, although i kinda figured you're not having one.
I gave mine at our RD but My friend got married at Rh and didnt have a RD, she gave us our BM gifts at the shower.
