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.
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.
It is considered polite to address a wedding card to both people who were married.
* It isn't your in-laws making any demands, but proper etiquette if you are opening the gift envelopes at the reception. Most parents of the bride and groom give monetary gifts so they would like to be there to enjoy you opening their gift. Some couples have a gift opening the day after the wedding because there is too much going on at the wedding. If you don't want them there then you shouldn't take the gift they gave you.
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
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.
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 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
No, there is no order in handing out weddinggifts. Some people may drop off or mail a wedding gift to the home of the bride; other people will bring the wedding gifts to the wedding reception and usually the gifts are not opened at wedding reception (parents will take the wedding gifts home with them while the bride and groom go off on their wedding night) and some married couples will wait a day or two and have a 'gift opening party' either at their home or at their parents home.

Typically, you are looking to cover the cost of your plate. It also depends on how close the friend is to you, and the kind of wedding they are having. Some wedding gifts can range from $75-$200. If you are invited with a guest, remember to take that into consideration as well. You need to cover their cost in addition to your own.It depends on your terms of relationship. If you are going on your best friend`s wedding then i think money no matters.There is no limit of money for wedding gifts, whatever you want to give your friend or relative you can give.I also want to tell you that you can suggest your friend or relative to purchase wedding invitations from 123WeddingCards from where he/she will get beautiful wedding cards at reasonable price; it can also be a good wedding gift.
