You Googled "average cost of a bridal shower gift." The answer: $50-$75. You want to spend appropriately—not too little (cheap), not too much (showing off). But here's the question: does average spending create average memories, or can you spend within budget and still be unforgettable? Mrs… At Last! is the answer: three boxes for $114 total (I–III) or six boxes for $228 (I. The Beginning → VI. The Farewell). That's $38-$50 per milestone moment—right in the average range. But instead of one gift at the shower, you're giving multiple deliveries across her journey. Research shows experiential gifts create 3x stronger emotional bonds than material gifts. Average budget, above-average impact. Because the average cost doesn't have to mean average memories.
Spend Average Create Exceptional
Three boxes for $114 ($38 each) or six for $228 ($38 each). Both options fall within average shower gift spending—but create multiple milestone moments instead of one. You're spending appropriately while giving exceptionally.
One $75 registry gift = average spending, average memory. Three boxes for $114 = average spending, three memorable moments. Six boxes for $228 = slightly above average spending, six unforgettable deliveries. Better math.
You're not trying to outspend everyone. You're trying to be remembered. Six milestone moments at average cost per delivery means you stay within budget while creating above-average emotional impact. That's smart gifting.

My second box arrived yesterday and I'm having just as much fun as the first. In the beginning, I wanted to not spend money and put everything towards the wedding expenses, but this was worth it. And a great price too!
