Is it tacky to give both the wedding gift AND the shower gift at the shower?
My husband and I got the couple the bedding set that they registered for. The comforter set is quite large, and we’d rather not have to deal with it at the wedding reception. For the shower gift, we got them a holiday dish set. Much smaller than a comforter set, but also much heavier. We have an infant, and she does not travel lightly!
Would it been seen as tacky if I just showed up with both at the bridal shower tomorrow?
Not tacky, just explain yourself. No big deal!
If anyone else has a similar problem in the future and the gift can be mailed to the couple’s house, do that. (But I’m guessing the questioner already has both items.)

.Naw, just explain it’s a logistical issue and make note as to which is the actual wedding gift so they can save that to open with their other wedding gifts.

Oh defiantly not tacky! Just explain to them and if they are good people they will understand why you brought both gifts!

No one would be offended to receive gifts; besides, traditionally, boxed gifts are sent prior the wedding to avoid reception mix-ups and stuff.
However, I would be cautious to gift holiday items out of season that were obviously on clearance after Christmas.
Good luck

I always just get 1 big gift, anyway, and give it at the shower. Nobody I know is so pretentious that they would be upset about getting 1 big gift at a shower vs. 2 smaller gifts.

Not tacky, just tell them what you just told us =] That it’s only logical for you to give both gifts at the shower, I mean they’re getting the gifts, they won’t care if they get them at the same time lol
Hope this helped =]
