If you receive an invitation to the wedding, you should get a gift (whether you attend or not). Check the bridal registry information at local department stores (Target, Walmart, etc). Find something they are hoping to get as a gift and that you can afford and get it for them.
There is no proper etiquette. The wedding guest can bring a gift or not. I try to find out what the bride and groom want and get them something off their registry – especially glassware and linens. I didn’t expect my guests to bring gifts at my wedding – I did register at a couple of department stores but only told people about it if they asked.
well, its a good idea to give one. Some couples have a registry and they’ll tell you where they are listed. This way they get the things they really want without getting multiples from guests. A monetary gift is impersonal, but better than nothing.
If the couple has registered for gifts, you can buy one from their list. If not, do a little investigating to see what they might need. If you are going to the wedding, the wrapped gift goes on a gift table. If you aren’t going, you simply mail it to the bride’s home. If you prefer to give a card with money, there is usually a card box for those envelopes.
If you receive an invitation to the wedding, you should send a gift whether you attend or not. If the couple has a registry, shop from the registry. If not, a monetary gift is fine.
With regards to what?
Perhaps if you asked the future bride and groom what they need so they won’t end up getting twenty or thirty toasters,lol.
A monetary gift is alway appropriate. I usually give at least what my meal will cost.
Monetary gifts are usually customary (at least here it is), which amount to about how much your plate costs.
you find out where they’re registered and buy the gift that’s listed.
If you attend the wedding you must give a gift. If you do not attend you are not obligated to give a gift.
