It depends on your budget and how close you are with the couple. Typically, shower gifts are in the $25-50 range for most people, but if you are really close or really affluent, $100 isn't unheard of.
Strictly speaking , the Bridal Shower should be for the Bride -To-Be's friends, not her Mother or her Mother-in -Law to be. This should be a girl-fest. It would be more appropiate for you two to have a private luncheon, and you may give her a present that will have a special meaning, like a family heirloom lesser piece of jewelry, a tablecloth that has family memories attached to it, or if you scrapbook, a little story of your son's childhood, with little pictures and some favorite receipes interspersed.The amount you spend is entirely up to you. Let the girls party on their own, and let this separate get-together be a bonding moment for you and your future daughter-in -law.
recommend $100.
anywhere from 100-500 dollars
It's the thought that counts not the amount.
It is proper etiquette for the parents of the groom to pay for the rehearsal dinner. If it is necessary for the couple to pay then they should set a budget and only spend what they have available!
They have to sit down and talk about how to spend their lives together.
approximately .... hmmmmmmm....15 minutes...
Let your pocket and your feeligs for the groom be your guide.

As much as possible. The wedding planner has to no the bride. Otherwise the wedding wont be the bride's and groom's dream wedding, it would be the wedding planner.
It's your choice if you just want a day with your girlfriends or if you want to spend time with your girlfriends and their families, there are no rules for this. although most guys do not want to go to a baby shower
I spend around 30 - 60 min. Some people around me spend 5 - 15 min. Normal is probably 10 - 15 min.

It depends on how much money the bride and groom have and if they want to spend extra for wedding favor's.
Many do and many do not. It depends on how formal the wedding is, what the bride (and groom? want and what they want to spend on the wedding.
