If you're looking for a unique bridal shower gift, consider something that is monogrammed. If you know the bride is taking her husband's surname, simply use the initial of her new last name. Alternatively, use the initial of the last name with the couple's first name initials on either side of it. But remember that monogrammed items likely cannot be returned or exchanged, so make sure you purchase something the couple can use. - Purchase the bride luxurious linens and have them monogrammed. Towels with the couple's monogram will look great displayed in their bathroom. You can also have pillow shams or pillowcase covers monogrammed. Another nice monogrammed linen gift idea is napkins. Choose white or off-white napkins so that they go with just about every color the bride could choose for her dining room. You can also select napkin rings to go with the napkins.
- You can choose to have bar ware, such as wine glasses and cocktail glasses, monogrammed as well. Alternatively, have dinner drinking glasses inscribed with the couple's initial. For a fun touch, include a matching monogrammed pitcher. There are a few different ways you can monogram glassware. Choose between etching the initials into the glass or into a decorative silver plate that is attached to the glass.
- Consider purchasing matching monogrammed bathrobes for the married couple. You can monogram them with their initials or with their first names. Another fun monogrammed apparel gift is his and her aprons. Some pajama companies also sell coordinated pajama sets that can be monogrammed. They don't have to completely match; order shorts and a shirt for the groom and a nightgown for the bride, for example.
- The new couple will have fun decorating their home with their monogram. Select a monogrammed welcome mat for their front door. It can feature their initials or their last name. You can also monogram a welcome sign to place near their door or a flag to hang out front.
