Present to Bride from bridesmaid/future sister in law?

So my brother's fiance (the bride to be) asked me to be her bridesmaid. I of course said yes! It will be my first time being a bridesmaid. But I am not sure what to get her now for -Bachelorette Party her matron of honor plans to have for her -Bridal Party -Wedding gift for my brother and sister-in-law So far it is still a year and 2 months away but I need to save up money...I have a small list of things I could get them...but I don't know if it will be appropriate -a gift set (guest book, pen, cake serving set, engraved toasting flutes, flower basket, ringbearer pillow, garten) -survival kit (groom, wedding, bridesmaid) -lingerie - problem with this, it's kinda awkward to buy lingerie for your sister in law for your brother (ewwww is all i can say) But I dunno, it doesn't seem right to get her the bridal/bachelorette gifts AND what not. Please help me figure out what to get -my brother and sister in law for their wedding present -my future sister in law's bachelorette party present -my future sister in law's bridal party present And if possible, WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO AS A BRIDESMAID? (BRIDESMAID DRESSES, SHOES, JEWELRY, DUTIES, ETC)

Congrats! But you're sort of complicating this. There are only 2 gifts you'd get: one for the bridal shower (assuming she has one) and then a wedding gift. The bachelorette is just a party, and in most cases, everyone pays for themselves and chips in to cover the bride's cost. For gifts, she'll probably have a registry and you can pick from that. Don't go broke over it, just spend whatever you can afford. You're probably going to be buying your own dress, shoes, etc. so if money is tight, just budget carefully. But the gifts you listed in the gift set are usually things the bride gets herself - you'd be buying items for their house, kitchen stuff, towels, etc And for duties, it won't be a lot. Just wait to hear from the bride and what she wants. She might want you to look at bridesmaid dresses, maybe help her pick her own dress, etc. The main duty is you help plan the shower and then you show up at the wedding!
