* 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.

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.
