Since it's going to be a surprise, I think it's fine not to bring a hostess gift. You may want to get whoever was involved in planning a little something after the shower to show your appreciation.
good question! i was wondering the same. all the showers i've ever attended have been surprises so the hostess gift was unheard of to me.
*bump*
Any ideas ladies would really be appreciated. It's something I'm worried about & I can't really ask any of my good friends cuz um... the one's I would ask are all IN my bridal party. :(
@ lulucarmen - thanks for the info. Right now I don't know who's involved in planning so that's just one of my questions.

My Mom is organizing my shower with the help of my 2 MOH's - I know nothing about it and it's a total surprise. I'd never heard of a hostess gift until I found WB & I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
Is it expected to give a hostess gift?
When are you supposed to present the gift? If the shower is a surprise, I obviously won't be able to bring it with me. Do I just leave it in the car just in case? (haha! - that sounded like a good idea in my head but it looks stupid now that I typed it.)
I'm pretty sure my Mom's footing the majority of the bill but I know both MOH's are helping out and I know that FMIL is contributing too. FSIL might be pitching in as well as the rest of my BM's but I don't know since I'm out of the loop on the planning. Do I get ALL of them presents (separate from the BM & parent gifts given at the rehearsal dinner)? How does this work?
Sorry for all the Q's but I have no idea what the right thing to do here is & you ladies always have the answers.
Thanks!! :)
