Shower Hostess Gifts?
Is it customary to give whomever throws you a shower a hostess gift?
Did anyone do this...if so..can you give suggestions of the gift...(i.e. did you follow the theme or ?)

I think so but it could also depend. Some states the shower is a surprise. In other states the future bride knows when her shower is.

I wonder... because isn't the shower usually thrown by the Maid of Honor? If so, doesn't she already get a gift? But then, I think I've been to showers not thrown by the MOH and I'd think they deserve a gift, yes. But not showers thrown at work or any other unexpected function.

I guess it depends. My mom is throwing my shower (YES- I know this is not supposed to be done) I doubt I'll get her something. B/c- I will get her something to give her at my rehersal.
Now... MOH... Even if it is a member of the bridal party- I say get a little something. Just to say- Hey thanks.

I hadn't even thought of that. Hmm... Not that we have showers over here, but am I supposed to buy another gift for my MOH when she hosts my hen night?
*ahem* back to your question, I'd maybe get whoever it is a little thank you gift even if you're already getting them a gift for being part of the BP. Just a kind gesture rather than an expensive gift, maybe some lovely bath products or a sweet letter thanking them?

My mom will end up hosting mine, if I get one at all. I'm not planning on having a MOH, just my 2 Jr. Bridesmaids, Richy's daughters. Somehow I don't think a 15 y/o and a 13 y/o will be pulling off my bridal shower

See...this is why I'm kind of wondering..because my attendants are throwing a shower, but I also have two other people throwing me different showers, so I thought maybe a nice thank you gift...but then what about my attendants? I already got gifts for them..but as thank you's for being in the wedding gifts..
Ugh
