I recently went to a friend's bridal shower and talked with the maid of honor and she said that she was going to get some of her friends together for a bachelorette party. My question is do I get the bride a gift? If so what should I get her? Thanks!

What can I do next?

Depends on the nature of the friend.

Most of my friends, we wind up buying gifts from an adult store. The last BP I went to was for my sister-in-law to be, and my cousin and I went in together. We got her a few massage oils, a Kama sutra book, and a sexy negligee... Then a few "extra small" condoms, along with some other cheap gag gifts of that ilk... We spent about $50 together.

Although, I have had several occasions where the bachelorette wouldn't appreciate that sort of thing... For those, I usually do self-indulgence gifts... Nice soaps and bubble bath, a paraffin wax kit, gift cards for manicures or facials, etc. (keep it small though... Usually, I don't spend more than $20 for bachelorette gifts.)

No. You get gifts for the shower and wedding, but the bachelorette party is just for partying. ;-)

However, cute, cheesy stuff....like a t-shirt with something funny on it, is always okay.

No suggestion on a gift - I guess the raunchier the better. But my girls gave me a personalized oversized shot glass and took me to a men's gay bar for my party and it was one of the funnest and funniest nights of my life EVER.

My bridesmaids made me buy a round of shots every time I said my fiancee's name. And one of the guys we met made me buy a round of drinks everytime he heard me swear. I got goosed so many times it made me question the patrons sexual validity. Before we left my girls handed out men's thongs which we put on over our clothes (mine had a little veil on it) and gave the extras to some of the guys around us, and so it made for an awesome awesome picture.

aahhh...good times.

My sister had a low key drinks, dinner, personals shower. my SIL had an all out bash/pub crawl complete with DD limo and it was pretty raunchy and FUNNY:)
You'll be able to gauge the tone. If raunchy/funny though, go ahead and get her one nice nightie that isn't funny. They really do appreciate it:)

Unless there is specifically a lingerie shower aspect to the bachelorette party, don't bring a gift, especially if you've already gone to a bridal shower. Expect to pay a portion of the bride's meal, buy her a drink, etc but no gift is needed or expected.

At a bachelorette party, you give lingerie.
