Wedding Gifts And The Big Day
Weddings are joyous occasions for family and friends and to be included in these celebrations is a honor because this day will be remembered for a very long time.
Traditional weddings are becoming less common so people are not always sure what type of gifts are accepted and whether you should bring a gift or not. It was the tradition that gifts were only given by those attending the wedding and those attending only the wedding reception weren't required to bring a gift. However, young and old alike are now choosing to get married on vacation with just a few family members or witnesses, then have a reception for family and friend when they return home. For this type of wedding format it is assumed if you are invited to the wedding reception, that you should bring a gift.
Luckily most couples provide a wedding gift list. They are very popular and most large department stores provide a really good wedding gift service. You can go to the store directly and ask to see the list of the bride and groom. Often the gift list is put on the internet for the couple to provide you with the internet link so that you can purchase the gift from their list online. The gifts are delivered directly to the couple, either at their home or to the wedding reception, so you don't need to wrap anything and there is no worrying that you may buy the same gift as another guest, because once the gift is purchased it is removed from the list so that duplicate gifts are prevented.
If you are part of the wedding party, a bridesmaid, maid of honor or the best man then gift giving isn't usually expected because you may have already contributed towards dresses and suits and bachelor parties. However, you can still give a token gift as celebration such as a bottle of champagne or whiskey to lubricate the day or perhaps a commemorative gift from all the wedding party engraved with the bride and grooms names and wedding day.
