luvabul Newlywed Veteran! Member since 7/06 7191 total posts Wedding Date: 7/4/2007 12:00 AM Wed. Location: Leonard's of Great Neck	Wedding Gift Q Invited to another wedding Saturday night next month, she is a friend from law school. Really surprised I got invited, and I do think I was on the B list, because I did not get a 'save the date' especially since I know one other person that did. I dont mind, and I'd like to go with hubby. I wasnt invited to the shower either. She has a registry at BedBathBeyond. My question is are you supposed to give gifts from the registry only for bridal showers? Can I buy two things off the registry and send them to her place, and just give a card on the wedding? Or do you think I should give cash (is that more appropriate), if so, how much for two? I will be seeing this person often next semester! but at the same time, weddings are becoming expensive Thanks

Wedding Gift Q

Invited to another wedding
Saturday night next month, she is a friend from law school. Really surprised I got invited, and I do think I was on the B list, because I did not get a 'save the date' especially since I know one other person that did. I dont mind, and I'd like to go with hubby. I wasnt invited to the shower either.
She has a registry at BedBathBeyond.

My question is are you supposed to give gifts from the registry only for bridal showers?
Can I buy two things off the registry and send them to her place, and just give a card on the wedding?
Or do you think I should give cash (is that more appropriate), if so, how much for two?
I will be seeing this person often next semester! but at the same time, weddings are becoming expensive

Thanks

halfbaked Mrs. O'Connor! Member since 2/09 23484 total posts Wedding Date: 5/14/2010 5:00 PM Wed. Location: Jericho Terrace- A++++++++	Re: Wedding Gift Q Personally, I'd give cash. It's not wrong to give a physical gift at a wedding, but I wouldn't. As for how much, always only give what you can afford, no matter what it is. Where is the wedding? You said it's Saturday night? I'd probably give $150- $200 depending on how much I had to give and because it sounds like you are not very close with the bride.

I have never given less than $300 as a gift, but alot of guests at my wedding gave $100 per person/$200 per couple. Younger guests gave more. Give the amount that you feel comfortable with and can afford.
