Wedding Gift Etiquette

There’s only one season that rivals Christmas when it comes to gift-giving and that time of year has arrived: it’s wedding season.

Before the bride takes that walk down the aisle and the couple says “I do,” it’s a good time to start thinking about gifts. Here are some of the biggest wedding gift-giving questions answered.

When should I send my gift?

I’ve been told several times that you have a year to give a couple a wedding gift, but according to Emily Post, get it done within three months. The best time to do it is right before or right after the wedding.

It is ok to bring the gift to the reception if you prefer, but that just means more work for someone taking on the task of gift wrangler.

Does the gift have to come off of the registry? A registry is just a guide, but it’s a good way to make sure the couple gets exactly what they want.

Emily says if this makes you a little uneasy, try giving a gift certificate.
