What is your wedding gift etiquette?

This bride in particular had her wedding registry printed on her bridal shower invite.

So I'm assuming to bring the registry gift to the shower & then a card with cash to the wedding? Or another gift to the wedding?

I am the only cousin, out of a big family, to get a plus 1, so I plan on doing more than I normally would.

What would you do?

I always do a gift to the shower and a check to the wedding.

I do the same - gift for the shower and check to the wedding.

I purchase the shower gift and the wedding gift from the registry.

I do a gift from the wedding registry for the Bridal Shower gift and give a check at the wedding.

I always pick a gift from the registry for both.

Shower:  give a gift  -- from the registry or not.  

Wedding: give a check, cash, or a gift from the registry or not

It is not mandatory to gift from the registery.  I hate that people seem to think this is some sort of requirement (not directed at any posters, just in general).

Most important, have fun!

I love giving a gift from the registery.

Obviously, they picked it out and I know it's something that's wanted and/or needed by the bride and groom.

I agree with others here. Buy a gift from their registry for the bridal shower and a check at their wedding. 

Have fun! I just got an invite as well for a family member. She is having 2 bridal showers in 2 parts of the country since we are all spread out. I plan on attending one of them and the wedding as well.
