Question about shower gifts

Yes, I know I am already married and have in fact, had a shower myself, but I am still clueless about certain things.

I am attending my cousins shower tomorrow. She lives in Virginia, so I am planning on having her gift delivered to her VA address.

My question is twofold...1) Is this ok...and 2) since I won't have a gift in hand, what is the best thing to do...give her a card with something like gift in the mail written in it or print out a photo of what i chose off the registry.

I should tell you that it is more than one thing, so I would have to print multiple pages/pictures...

TIA ladies.

eta: the shower is here in NY. she lives in VA.

Jess, it's perfectly ok to send a gift through the mail for an OOT shower. I received several gifts that way, tho none of them were actually able to attend, it's still acceptable.

And yes, I would bring a card with you and write a lil note (I know you're good with words) in it about what you sent and how it will arrive shortly. You could print out pics but if it's a hassle then it's not necessary.

Have fun tomorrow and safe traveling!!

what do you mean you won't have a gift with you?



I wouldn't go if I were you.




eta: print pics of the stuff you got, paste/tape/use some gum to stick them inside a card.

I agree with Cindy as well, Jess. I think that sending it through the mail is perfectly acceptable. I would just give her a card at the shower & tell her that she hopes she & her FH enjoys the gift, that is en route via mail.

Maybe write a cute poem or something.

Besides that.. thats one less thing she would have to lug back to VA!

I would say send it by mail and give her a card. Be creative with either pics/words/poems whatever you think is best. It'll be fine.
