Wedding Shower Gifts for People Who Are Getting Married for the Second Time
According to the official rules, no gifts are required at the second wedding of someone if you gave her a gift for her first wedding. Although it is not necessary, if you love the person and wish them well in her second marriage, you might go ahead and get them a gift. Since she already has pots, pans and sheets, get creative.

Lessons
-
Give the bridal couple a set of lessons. If they like to go out dancing, purchase lessons to learn how to salsa or tango. For couples who like adventure, scuba diving lessons would be fantastic. Be sure that what you give them will be used because there is usually no returning this type of gift. Ask the bride before purchasing lessons of any sort just to be sure they would appreciate them.
Classes
-
Cooks or wannabe cooks could all use a refresher course in meal prep. Hire a personal chef to come to the bride's home and teach her how to cook a special meal or bake a special dessert. This type of class is one-on-one, and a lot can be learned while cooking in your own kitchen. If you know the bride is trying desperately to lose weight before her wedding day, purchase a set of classes or meetings with a personal trainer; he can come to her home, or she can meet him at the gym.

Money
-
Newly engaged couples never turn their noses up at money. Because most second marriages are paid for out of the bride and groom's own pocket, things can get pricey. You can designate it to go toward paying for the wedding or the honeymoon --- or just give it to them with no strings attached.
Gift Certificates
-
Gift certificates are almost like giving cash, except they have to be used at a specific place. This is a great idea if you think any money you give will go to bills and you really want the bride to use the gift for herself. Restaurant gift cards for a night out, home improvement store gift cards for working on their new home together or a spa gift certificate for a day of relaxation are all ideas for a second wedding gift.
