What do you bring to a bridal shower? First one this weekend as a guest. Bride doesn't have registry, okay with cash gift. How much do you usually give?

Maybe $100 and a small gift? I went to one recently with no registry and gave $100 with two engraved gifts (cutting board and kitchen aprons- she likes to bake)

Are you sure there isn’t one? I’ve never attended a shower without a registry. I would ask the bride specifically if she has one.

Yeah, none

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
