The months between getting engaged and getting married are some of the most exciting times—from wedding planning and dress shopping to celebrating at events like bachelorette and engagement parties. And, of course, there’s the bridal shower. Whether you’re the mother of the bride and want to get your daughter a special present for her shower or you’re a close friend in need of some gifting inspiration, we’ve curated a selection of some fantastic bridal shower gift ideas.

Your fave bride will likely be putting together a wedding registry with a ton of items that she wants and needs, but it’s always thoughtful to bring a little extra something to pre-wedding events. These gifts range from small and sweet to personalized and meaningful. Some are perfect for just the bride, while others make a great couples gift. There are a handful that can be extended to bridesmaids and the maid of honor, too, and a ton that will make the wedding day even more exciting. On the other hand, some of the gifts are great if the newlyweds-to-be are setting up a new home together.

Whichever gift you pick for the bridal shower, it’s sure to be useful, sentimental, or just plain beautiful.
