Bridal Shower Gift Cards from American Express

7 Perfect Bridal Shower Gift Ideas for the Modern Bride

Bridal shower gifts for the bride who has it all.

Unique Bridal Shower Gifts that Make an Impression

Even savvy brides who have everything will appreciate these unique bridal shower gifts that put a contemporary spin on the classics.


1. Playful Pillows

Get a good laugh out of bridal shower gift ideas that use bed linens to make statement, like these “Mr. Right” and “Mrs. Always Right” pillows. Or, play it safe with simple and casual “Mr.” & “Mrs.” pillows for the family room sofa.

2. Personalized Gift Card

For bridal shower gift ideas that are petite and personal, go for American Express ® Gift Cards featuring the bride’s name so she can spend it on virtually anything her heart desires.


3. Coffee-Table Book of Honeymoon Locale

Honeymoon-related bridal shower gift ideas are a dime a dozen. But you’ll be the only one to bestow a beautifully bound book of photos and information about the couple’s exotic destination of choice, guaranteed. It’s an especially great option for second-time marriages (when the couple already has all the essentials) to get them geared up for their big trip.

American Express® Gift Cards: The Gifts that Stand Out
  • Can be used virtually anywhere in the U.S. where American Express Cards are accepted
  • Safer than cash because the Card is replaceable if lost or stolen*
  • Choose from a variety of designs appropriate for weddings

* Restrictions apply. See Cardholder Agreement.

4. Personalized Stamp

After all the bridal shower gifts come the thank-you notes. Make what can be a time-consuming process lots more fun with a custom stamp or embosser showcasing the new couple’s last name and address. Plus, if you have a practical streak to your gift-giving, the lucky couple can continue to use this present on their correspondence for years to come.

5. Formal Cake Servers

No matter where the wedding is taking place, it’s always nice to have something special to serve and sip with on the big day. Fancy cake servers are gorgeous, sophisticated bridal shower gifts that double as keepsakes after the wedding.

6. His & Her Mugs

Happiness is a hot cup of coffee or tea, especially when they’re served in quirky mugs with pouty lips and a robust mustache.

7. From Bride to Bob

Many women let their hair grow long leading up to the wedding to ensure they can achieve the style they want. But afterwards? Let the clipping begin! Grab her a gift certificate to her favorite salon.  Or, if you’re not sure where she likes to go, get her a bridal-themed American Express Gift Card so she can get a cut and color on you when she returns from the honeymoon.
