In order to give a vote of thanks to a church, a letter should be addressed to the senior pastor. The thanks should be cordially extended to the entire church.
There are several ways to express thanks for a wedding reception. The most personal way would be to express your thoughts and gratitude through a thank you card.
hello
The way to give a vote of thanks varies. Some church conferences cast votes and sometimes you can simply write in your vote.
Traditionally no, the mother of the bride does not give a speech at the wedding or at the wedding reception.
Yes, if there is a wedding in a church and a reception then you should give a gift even if it is a third marriage.

yes
If you attend the wedding or the reception you should give a gift. It's not required and you don't have to give anything if you don't want to. ---- In polite society, gifts are NOT to be expected. Giving a gift is optional whether you received a gift from them or not, whether you go to the reception or not. The invitation is to join them in celebrating the event.
A vote of thanks at a birthday party is an expression of appreciation given by a speaker on behalf of the party guest.
The father of the bride and groom can give the wedding gift to them the day of the wedding at home or, they can leave the gift on the gift table at the wedding reception. However, if it is of cash value it is better to give the bride and groom the money before the wedding.
* No, you do not give a wedding gift when you are invited to a wedding, but please reply on the small card with stamped envelope to let the person who invited you that you will or will not be attending and tick where there is a guest you are inviting or your husband or boyfriend. If a woman then you give a gift at the bridal shower and of course a wedding gift which you would leave at the Wedding Reception.
It is quite common and acceptable to attend a wedding without bringing a gift with you. Many people give the wedding gift before the wedding, and some give it after the wedding. So if you've already given the gift, or plan to give it later, it is perfectly find to attend the wedding without bringing a gift with you. And if you simply can't afford a wedding gift, then don't worry about it. A wedding is about the bride and groom wanting their family and friends to share in their happiness and the celebration of their marriage, and shouldn't be all about inviting guests just so they will get more gifts. If I ever felt someone invited me to a wedding simply to get a gift, I would not go to the wedding, nor would I get them a wedding gift.
The answer to your question depends on where you are having wedding reception. Some popular places are booked up two years or more in advance. The best answer I can give is to suggest you book as soon as you set a date.
