Gift not Required
by: Dandelion

If your daughter doesn't attend the shower, it is her choice whether to send a gift or not--she is not obligated to do so. Please stop pressuring her.

Send a gift from BOTH of you
by: Eunice replies

Well the correct etiquette implies that giving gifts should always be the choice of the giver.

I'd say you get a really good gift and say it is from you and your daughter.

Tell your daughter that you've included her and that she need not send a gift. You can also try to include her by asking for her input on ideas for the gift.

Etiquette are just mere guidelines. They are enforceable law. We can't make someone 'obey' etiquette either. So I hope this suggestion will help your situation.
