I recommend you buy a gift for the couple as soon as the registry (list of things they need) is released. Always keep the receipt in case the relationship doesn't work out and the wedding is called off.
Caviar baskets are a good thing to take as a wedding gift only if the couple enjoys that type of food. Not everyone likes the taste of fish eggs.
No. The same applies if you had a gift sent directly to them through a store. But if you feel you should bring something, a wedding card is always nice. And if you want to be sure they know about the donation (or to expect the gift), you can include a message about it in the card. Or you could take a bottle of Champagne etc., which is always a good gift for celebrating events.
Yes . Gift for the wedding OR the reception . If you can attend neither, it's totally up to you re : sending a gift , but a nice card is the least you can do to acknowledge the happy event.
It is considered polite to address a wedding card to both people who were married.
Not long, it should only take 1 or 2 minutes.
Depending on where you are ordering it from you should give it at least two months to order and receive your wedding dress.
A wedding gift is expected. There may be favors at the reception for the guests to take home as souvenirs, but wait for one to be offered as they are not mandatory . If you are desperate for a souvenir, take a bit of wedding cake home with you. There is an old saying that if you put it under your pillow [in a baggie, we suggest ] you will dream of your true love.
Personally, I'd take the gift back and get my money back and never buy the couple a gift again
Be sure to take your wedding dress to a reputable cleaners that does dry clean wedding dresses. It can take two to four days, but you will have to discuss that with the owner.
It really does all depend. If you are attending something formal you would want to give a gift, but take into account what you have already spent on the first wedding and the out of pocket cost to you (i.e. gas, toll).

yes why not.a gift or a card with flowers it very sweet and nice.A bit more:While it would be ok to bring a gift card to a wedding reception, I wouldn't advise bringing flowers. To bring flowers as a gift to a wedding would be pretty awkward for the wedding couple to have to keep up with, find a place to put them where they won't be in the way or clash with her wedding/reception decorations.With flowers, they would have to find someone willing to take them home for them after the wedding/reception and, considering most couples leave for their honeymoon right after the wedding, the flowers would be wilted or dead by the time the newlyweds returned.But what you can do is to have flowers delivered to them after they return from their honeymoon.
If you are invited to the bridal shower and the wedding it is usually customary to buy a gift for both events. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well if you are invited to bridal shower as well as wedding.... then definitely you need to take care of the budget. Because now you have to spend twice. So the best solution to this is for bridal shower buy something not all that expensive...some things that come to my mind are: # Wedding Bowls & Plates # Wedding Night Lingerie # Tees for Brides # Spa Gift Sets # Drinkware # Cookbooks for Newlyweds
