I'm from GA and it's considered proper etiquette to give a wedding gift and a shower gift, if you're invited to any showers. I was also brought up that relatives do not give showers. Also, it's entirely possible to be invited to more than one shower for a couple. And theme showers are popular - stock the yard (lawn/outdoor stuff), stock the bar, lingerie, kitchen, etc. I've never heard of giving money for dances, and cash gifts for the wedding are definitely not the norm - gifts of linens, china, silver, crystal are. In fact, I think money figuring so prominently at such an occasion is poor manners.
And finally, gifts are always in proportion to what the giver wants to or can afford, nothing more.
