Bridal shower etiquette

[cjsmith]

One of the vet techs at the clinic where I work is getting married soon, and I'm invited to her bridal shower.

I have no idea what gift, if any, to bring. If she is registered on any wedding gift list thingy, I don't know about it. She has mentioned, once, that rather than any material gift she'd rather have help setting up / cleaning up for the party -- but I think she meant the one after the wedding, not the shower. I can't attend the wedding; I'm working (at the clinic!) that day.

I also have no idea what to wear. Keep in mind that there are no pants in the world that fit me except one specific brand of jeans, so that's what I own, and if I'm to wear a dress or skirt, it is going to go with unshaved legs, white ankle socks, and these shoes.

Ideas? Thoughts? Is either of these the kind of question one asks the maid of honor?

Where is the shower being held? In a house, restaurant? Evening or daytime? If it's in a house or brunch, you probably can wear jeans and a nice shirt.

I'd ask the maid of honor about being registered or what she might need.

It's being held in "the Crystal Room" at a church. Early afternoon.

Thanks for the bit about asking the maid of honor about gifts! I had thought maybe that would be the right person to ask.
