SUMMARY

For an out-of-town bridal shower, the best shipping option is to send gifts to a family member who lives closer to the host. This approach facilitates easier delivery and allows the host to collect items at their convenience.

I am doing an out-of-town Bridal Shower (distant cousin). Where do you usually ship the order? The host of the shower lives even further away than I do. I hate to send them all to the Bride!! Thinking of just asking another family memeber. Thoughts?
 
Ask the bride - most of mine want it shipped to them anyway. Some have it shipped to the host's house and they help them divide up the orders but it doesn't sound like that works in this situation.
 
It would be best to ask another family member who lives closer to the host to receive the order on their behalf. This way, the items can be easily delivered and the host can pick them up at their convenience. Alternatively, you could also consider shipping the order directly to the bride's home, but make sure to inform her beforehand so she knows to expect the delivery.
 

Frequently Asked Questions
