  • It is far better to go on a bridal registry at different stores either online or at the stores themselves. This way the bride and groom to be can pick out what they would like as a gift and mark it off so guests will know what to buy them and not duplicate gifts. Larger online retailers allow you to create "wishlists" these are items you want to receive. Your guests can then choose a gift from the list, once purchased that particular gift will be removed or marked as purchased from the wishlist.

Should I ask my two good friends if they sent my son a wedding gift?

If your friends live out of town then you can ask and tell them you apologize, but with the way the mail service is you wanted to be sure if they did send a gift that you wanted to be sure to let them know you got it. If your friends live near you then 'no' you do not ask if they have sent your son a wedding gift. Sometimes people send wedding gifts on the late side. Your son and his bride should know by the wedding cards if they received a gift from your two friends or not. If your friends weren't invited to the wedding then it is up to their own discretion to give a wedding gift or not.


Is it ok to ask for money for a wedding gift?

It's not really good etiquette to simply ask for cash for wedding gifts but a more subtle, modern way to approach it would be to set up a wedding website where it could be mentioned that you would prefer cash to gifts, but also include links to wedding registries for those who don't feel comfortable giving cash or writing out a check.You could also nicely explain your wish to your family so if extended family or friends call to ask about what you want for a gift, they could say that the easiest thing to give you would be a monetary gift.

What wedding gift should the godparents of the wedding bring?

* The Godparents can give a gift at the wedding reception on monetary value or ask the parents of the Godchild what they may need. It is quite appropriate to give what you can afford and not necessary to buy and extremely expensive gift. Many brides and grooms register for gifts at different stores so ask the brides parents where they are registered. It's computerized and all you have to do is put the maiden name of the bride into the computer and a list of items will come up. The gifts that have been bought will be ticked off and you will have to pick another. If you have a problem then ask the salesperson to help you.


People that ask for wedding gifts?

If people you know are asking what you would like as a wedding gift then in your wedding invitations it is acceptable to put the list of bridal registries at different stores so your guests will know what you and your husband to be would like and not duplicate a gift. People who are getting married shouldn't readily tell others what they want as a wedding gift as it's poor etiquette.
