Why do you buy a gift for a bridal shower when your invited to the wedding?

If you are invited to the bridal shower and the wedding it is usually customary to buy a gift for both events. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well if you are invited to bridal shower as well as wedding.... then definitely you need to take care of the budget. Because now you have to spend twice. So the best solution to this is for bridal shower buy something not all that expensive...some things that come to my mind are: # Wedding Bowls & Plates # Wedding Night Lingerie # Tees for Brides # Spa Gift Sets # Drinkware # Cookbooks for Newlyweds
