Let’s be real weddings are expensive for everyone. Have you ever thought about when you should give a gift? How much should you spend? Or how do I get it to them? Well here are some answers.
Timing: Send or bring the gift to the wedding, or within a few months of the wedding date if you couldn’t make it to the ceremony. However, it's better not to delay too long after the wedding.
Budget: There's no strict rule about how much you should spend. Consider your relationship with the couple, your own financial situation, and what feels appropriate. A common guideline is to cover the cost of your attendance (or a bit more) if you're close to the couple.
Delivering Gifts: If you're sending a physical gift, ensure it's delivered to the correct address well in advance. If bringing it to the wedding, check if there are designated gift tables or drop-off points. For large or heavy items all opt in sending directly to the couple. Most registries will have this option.
If you're giving cash or a check, it’s often thoughtful to include a personalized note. Make checks out to one person as the couple May not have a joint account and it makes it extremely hard to deposit checks.
Not sure when, how, or what to do when it comes to gift giving?
