Q. A friend of mine is holding my bridal shower at her house. Do I need to bring a hostess gift?
A. Absolutely. In fact, you should show your gratitude for her efforts both in writing and with a present. You can give her a personal token of appreciation either before or after the party or send flowers in advance so she can use them as a shower decoration.
