My bridal shower that was in my husband's hometown was an "Open" shower. People were sent invitations but there were also notices in the local newspapers so pretty much anyone could come. This is the tradition in his hometown so I went with it even though I knew only about 10 people there.
I like to try and give something personal if I know the bride really well--like something I know she really wants off her registry or something that she didn't register for but I know she'd like and use. Similar to the "date" package, for Christmas one year my B/SIL gave my husband and I margarita mix, margarita glasses, salsa and the Newlywed game. It was a fun present even though we have yet to play the game!
If I don't know the bride as well, then I'll try and pick something off the registry or give them a gift card.
