How much should the mother of the groom spend on a shower gift?

Answer 1

It depends on your budget and how close you are with the couple. Typically, shower gifts are in the $25-50 range for most people, but if you are really close or really affluent, $100 isn't unheard of.

Answer 2

Strictly speaking , the Bridal Shower should be for the Bride -To-Be's friends, not her Mother or her Mother-in -Law to be. This should be a girl-fest. It would be more appropiate for you two to have a private luncheon, and you may give her a present that will have a special meaning, like a family heirloom lesser piece of jewelry, a tablecloth that has family memories attached to it, or if you scrapbook, a little story of your son's childhood, with little pictures and some favorite receipes interspersed.The amount you spend is entirely up to you. Let the girls party on their own, and let this separate get-together be a bonding moment for you and your future daughter-in -law.

Answer 3

• Each individual should only spend what their budget allows. Shop early and get in on the sales. There are more sales on at stores because of the poor economy. Consider two or three gifts you would like to give and then look for the best bargain. You can spend $25 - up for a gift. Some guests give towels with face clothes; wine glasses; tumbler glasses (tall drinking glasses); nice place mats with cloth napkins; fancy candles, etc.

Answer 4

• Spend only what you can afford. Don't extend your limit. Some ideas: A medium sized basket with baby powder; wipes; under shirts; etc., and then put into the basket and use a large piece of cellophane (you can buy this where you buy gift wrap at a drug store or card shop) and pull the cellophane up and around the basket and put a yellow bow on it or pink or blue if the mother-to-be knows the sex of the baby. Another idea is to buy clothing (most baby's clothing is on sale at this time of year) and buy three to four months old because most people give clothing to fit the baby now and not for future growth.
