Bridal showers were once held to help future brides prepare for their first home with their new husbands. In modern times, couples often already have many of the items they might need.
Rather than bringing a gift that may be redundant, shop locally for goods made by local artisans. You’ll find unique gifts, and you won’t won’t risk purchasing something someone else found at a big-box store. Here are some local gift ideas for a Minnesota wedding shower.
