Do I bring a baby shower gift for people I don't know?

There are two types of parties where it is mandatory to bring a gift: a birthday party and a shower. That is because gift giving is the sole purpose of the party.

You should totally bring something! Diapers are always a good option, but I recommend you find out the baby's gender first. Then, you can buy cute hats or outfits for them! Another good option would be to just bring money or a bottle set/ stuffed animal! Good luck!
