If this is a get-acquainted tea for the women of both families, no. Unless the Matriarch of the groom's family wishes to give to the bride-to-be a token of welcome, which should be done in an aside or private moment.

∙ 12y ago- The reception area will have a table set up for wedding gifts or cards with money or gift certificates in it and all wedding gifts should be left at the reception. Most newly married couples do not open the gifts at the reception and some may have a 'gift opening' at their home for guests to come too, but if nothing is said about it at the reception then the bride and groom will open the gifts at home and eventually send out thank you notes to their guests.

Do you bring a gift to the wedding if you already sent a donation to the charity the bride and groom requested?
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.

How do you deal with people who attend your kids wedding and don't bring a gift?
* The best thing to do when someone does not buy a wedding gift for your son or daughter's wedding is to ignore it. Some of these guests may well give a wedding gift later and those that don't then they have no etiquette and just remember that when it's their turn if one of their children gets married. It's not worth the energy to bring it up and is not proper etiquette to do so.
Do you bring a wedding gift card to the reception?
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.

It is customary to purchase a shower gift if you are planning on attending it, or if the person purchased you one for your shower.

A card of congratulations, regardless of whether or not you purchase them a gift, is always welcome and a sign of good manners.
