  Now back to the Erica Show on G one oh five, Erica and Trevor

  and I need some help. I have something etiquette wise that I didn't know
• 0:08
  was a thing, which is hard because I've been to so many weddings.
• 0:11
  But this weekend I was in Florida and I went to a bridal shower and
• 0:15
  we gave a pretty hefty gift money wise for the shower to count for the
• 0:23
  wedding. And I just realized that you have to bring a gift to the
• 0:28
  shower and the wedding. And I was like, wait, wait, wait,
• 0:30
  and all of the years, I'm just now learning this. I have
• 0:33
  never taken a gift to a wedding before, never really never unless I skipped
• 0:38
  the shower. But when you give the shower gift, and so here I
• 0:40
  am. I gave like we flew to this shower. I gave her a
• 0:46
  significant twenty dollars and I was like, I told my husband, I said,
• 0:50
  can we pull that back and like do half so then we can show
• 0:54
  up at the wedding with half of it, because that was our whole honeypot
• 0:57
  that we were going to give them for their wedding. And now what do
• 1:00
  I do Because I'm like, I got no money to give, no more.
• 1:02
  I guess I never realized you brought a gift to a shower. I
• 1:04
  always thought it was you brought the gift to the wedding. No, we
• 1:08
  need help. Nine one nine, eight six Z one oh five one.
• 1:11
  I called my mom. I asked my husband's mom. I was like,
• 1:14
  wait, what is the etiquette? My mom agreed with me. She's like,
• 1:17
  yeah, you take it to the shower and that's that. And I
• 1:19
  was like, maybe it's the Southern thing. My mother in law said,
• 1:21
  no, you always take a gift to both the shower and the wedding.
• 1:25
  I've never heard that. And I've been to more weddings than baby Jesus.
• 1:27
  Like, I'm telling you, I've been to so many and I did not
• 1:30
  know this Jesus business all of them. Nine one nine eight six one o
• 1:37
  five one Do you want to? Five? Is the Erica Show Erica and
• 1:38
  Trevor and we're asking, what is the proper etiquette? Do you need to
• 1:42
  take a gift to the wedding, shower and the actual wedding. We gave
• 1:47
  to a family member. We flew to Floorida this weekend and gave what we
• 1:49
  considered to be a big bridal gift that was going to count for the whole
• 1:53
  thing. And then my husband's family said, oh no, you got to
• 1:57
  take it to both the shower and the wedding. So what do you do.
• 2:00
  We've got Gabby on the phone. What do you think? Absolutely not
• 2:04
  do you give a gift as the shower. It's one gift and that is
• 2:08
  it. There's no way I am take two gifts. I'm only taking one
• 2:13
  to the shower. If you missed the shower, you take your gifts to
• 2:15
  the wedding. If that is gift. See, I didn't even know that
• 2:19
  you were supposed to bring a gift to the shower. Well, usually it's
• 2:21
  ladies. Typically it's women to get invited, not to out. Yeah,
• 2:24
  but I thought it was the woman say yeah, I thought it was just
• 2:28
  the wedding that you brought a gift to. No, it's at the shower.
• 2:30
  You had the wedding shower. If you missed the showers, you take
• 2:34
  your gifts to the wedding. We're expected because this is family. And the
• 2:38
  family says, oh no, you got to bring a gift to the wedding
• 2:40
  too. So I get on Google and it says yep, you got to
• 2:43
  bring it to both etiquette wise, and I was like, okay, so
• 2:45
  now if the family, I wouldn't gonna bring him plastic tupperware dish like I
• 2:49
  ain't get him more money to bring. I would take him a card.
• 2:52
  Yeah, okay, nothing else. Take I'm not giving another gift. No.
• 2:57
  If I'm a car, congratulations, that's wicious. That is it.
• 3:01
  Enjoy your first gift because you're not getting another one from me. There you go,
